Hit the deck! (Day 4)

The following is an actual conversation that took place:

Neighbor- "you know your house really needs a deck"
Me- "yeah, we are thinking about building one"
Neighbor: "How soon?"
Me: "we are hoping to get it done this summer"
Neighbor- "Good, cause it looks like dookie without one"
(in order to keep this blog rating PG, certain words such as 'dookie' may be used in place of other more colorful words of like meaning)

If this had been the first time that someone had mentioned the need of a deck, I may have been shocked or even offended. This was not the first time. In fact, Brent and I were begining to think that our houses deck contruction was the topic of choice within the NorthHill community. One day, a deck construction book just showed up, we have no idea who left it, but we took it as the final sign that we must really need a deck.

All of that was told so that you will understand why Brent & I were so excited for our initial meeting with our new contractor, Claudio, this morning. #60 is officially underway!
