Deck Building

One of the things Thomas really wanted was a large deck on the back of the house. Jeremy said it would cost about $500 to have someone else build the deck, so to save the money we decided to build it ourselves! It turned out to be a lot harder than anyone expected!!!

The first step was to drill about 24 holes into the brick. These holes took almost all day to drill and we thought it would be a lot easier! Mike went out and bought a new hammer drill to help make it a little easier. The guys took turns drilling, but they were worn out by the end of the day. Then, the drills would get so hot, they had to dip the drill bit into water to cool it down!
In the end we got a very beautiful deck that we love and that was made with love! The guys did a great job!
