The deck

Well, finally we have our deck, no railings yet, but the deck is done!! Hooray!! The railings will go up in about 3 weeks as we ordered them today (glass fencing). This was a bigger drama than the whole house, we tried to get 4 quotes and only ended up with 2 and the cost was $2000, yes that's right, $2000 dearer on one than the other!! One couldn't`t be bothered to come out and one came and seemed to be a bit of a nut and then sent back the quote saying they only do pool fences!! People just don`t seem to want your money. Anyway its all ordered and we now sit out there every day, breakfast and dinner!! The dog still can`t work it all out but I guess that's a good thing as when we put him on it his nails make such a racket it kept us awake so now he will have to stay on the grass, where it`s quieter.

You will also notice in the pictures that we have our new outside furniture all together now and it looks great. I don`t think Derek and I are a big fan of this new trend in put it together yourself furniture. This was so much work especially when the holes don`t line up!!
