Removal of original deck boards
New boards in place
We removed the hot tub since we had one before and rarely used it, so now
we have more surface area for entertaining.
Since we have small children we will be installing a railing around the perimeter of the deck to keep our kids from wandering off. There will be 2 sets of stairs that will have locking gates to make sure the kids can't get out. Not to mention we have 2 dogs, so when they want to get out of the house they can and we won't need to watch them to make sure they don't run off.
Somewhere at the end of our deck we are planning on installing a plastic slide (one that you'd see on a regular swing set) for the kids to play on. We'll also install a gate at the top of the slide so that the slide isn't used unsupervised. Hopefully this plan works out for us because I think the kids will have a blast!
Past the deck (under the lowest tree branch in the picture) is a square shaped fire pit for those nice summer nights roasting marshmallows for s'mores. I'd like to get some more outdoor furniture to provide some comfy seating, but we'll see. Maybe we'll hit up the after season sales later this year!
