SEISMIC school app - features demo

I have no doubt that I can.

(Major exaggeration for effect.But we mostly just had to buy deck screws, stain, and pretty decorations for fun.

So not thousands like we would have spent otherwise to get this deck in working order.).The most time consuming thing was cutting down all the old boards to make the spindles.We really thought the wood was in horrible shape and that we’d need to buy new wood, but once we got started we realized we had more than enough good wood to do what we wanted, and then some!

Changing out the railings from that tired-looking old lattice really made a big difference.. You could easily do the same thing with any deck by taking it apart and re-shaping it, or even just moving and re-sizing some stairs and railings.It’s amazing what a difference you can make with a few basic DIY skills and a little creativity!.

We really wanted a comfortable to spot to sit out on the deck, but we also wanted to be able to walk without interruption from the back door to the stairs.

There was really no good place to put the BBQ, so we came up with a pretty fun solution.. We made this little BBQ nook off the side of the eating area so it’s like the cooking station is kind of built in to the “wall” of the deck and we can easily cook and put food right on the table without having to travel far at all.. Just that tiny little deck extension really opened up the whole deck and made it feel so much bigger!If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in a complete down-to-the-studs-and-floor-joists reno in an old farm house, now’s your chance!.

So, it all started back in the Fall when we rented a dumpster.We had made good progress elsewhere in the house, and Chris thought that he might start to do a little demo work in the bathroom since we still had a bit of room in the dumpster.

Honestly the bathroom had gotten so bad that we weren’t using it anymore.I’ll save those pictures for the full before and after post at the end of this project!
