Our deck is done

Well, mostly done. It is completely built but we still have to stain it. We're also going to put a skirt around the bottom. Since it's so high off the ground we're going to use the underneath as a storage shed so we'll want it closed up. As you can see from the pictures we made a fun new addition to the deck - a slide for the boys! We tested it out last night when the workers were done and it's a pretty fast slide. We plan to add a box at the bottom filled with "kiddie mulch" or whatever it's called to make a soft place to land. The deck extends about 12 feet off the existing back porch. On one corner is an octagon shapped seating area where we plan to put a table. There is storage in those benches too. Then the back middle has a long bench. With a gate to the stairs on the far end.

I think we're going to have lots of fun out here.
