Construction of our New Deck over the old foundation

TODAY IS THE DAY! Finally hubby is starting my new deck. This is the long Civic Holiday weekend August 1st, 2009 This is the mess we have right now. As you can see, they built this deck/porch years and years ago, probably in the 50's and it was all made out of concrete. Over the years they have painted it, added outdoor carpet, whatever they could to make it look better. This is a picture of the horrible mess of carpet outside that has started to grow moss from the dampness and is very slippery when wet. One day I stepped out the door and went right down on my butt

I want it all to disappear so we are going to build right over the existing concrete foundation. The top floor and the steps will vanish under the new decking.

Stay tuned because we will be showing some pictures as it progresses.
