Deck

In July of 2004 we started an early Saturday morning with building this deck. The door you see also did not exist. The deck is 2 levels with a hot tub in the far corner. The deck is just over 300 sq. feet and made of cedertone spruce. The deck was supposed to properly incorporate the tub which had been purchased a couple of months prior. With the door installed in the location it is now, the owners wanted to have close access to the tub as in winter, the fewer steps over an icy deck, the better. There was also supposed to be plenty of room for the patio set, as seen and plenty of yard access. The privacy wall near the back with partially surrounds the tub cuts wind and visibility from the north and gives a place to hang your towel. Other design considerations included the basement windows (Seen to the right of the deck, there is another behind the tub on the left side.) which had to be kept accessable for fire escape reasons.

I am definitly not the only person who worked on this deck but worked with Dave and George, were major players who had experience, as well as Theresa, Sarah, Jodi and Adam.
