Hit The Deck!

Hey y'all

I'm sitting on the deck typing this----enjoying a beautiful summer morning. I thought you'd like to see the evolution of it. Yes I am all dorky like that. They started on a Tuesday about 1 PM and by Thursday evening we were eating supper on it!


Old view from back of yard



View from old deck corner





View from old deck showing tree --I had two trees taken out within five days of buying The House.







Old deck in dumpster---this was waiting when I got home that Tuesday.

Smooches and some sunny summer gropin' babies!

Yeesh. I am thinking that the fountain is really going to lower the property value.

Robin said...

Nice place, when do I get to come and visit? Are guests allowed to be topless?

Bucky said...

Do you have any photos of the fountain after the birds have been playing on it for about a week?

Miss Britt said...

I love your deck - it's gorgeous. Right down to the copper caps!

metalmom said...

OOH! The deck looks like a balcony, Juliet!

Is that one of those new-fangled Kentucky water fountains? I thought they were usually nudes?

DutchBitch said...

So ehm... are you taking the deck and the fountain with you, when you come to visit me?

Finn said...

Brad stole my comment... ;)

Your backyard is beautiful. But Amish with power tools? Is that kosher?

sybil law said...

Hahaha
That fountain is purty!
I missed the show last night. :(
Stupid kids all up my ass!
But I am listening later today, while I bake a birthday cake.
Woohoo! Always fun here!
Still - your deck looks beautiful!
Now you guys just need an inground pool! :D

Beautiful deck and I love the fountain.Did it cost much and where can I get one....

Bond said...

Can not wait to sit out there and sip some Sour Mash with you dear friend...

I WILL get an invite? right?

and the fountain..well, let's just say that the birds are eying it and it might become a birdbath

Desert Songbird said...

Nicely done, lady. Can you come design one for me now? *grin*

Southern Sage said...

looks awesome
I'm with Brad on the fountain though!
haaaaaaaaaa

Lol @ testical lift too!!

Coal Miner's Granddaughter said...

To raise the value of the fountain, it should be pissing, not spitting. :)

Beautiful deck, guys! And should we be scared of the Amish using power tools?

alphawoman said...

Looks like the Amish working in it! lol (I have experience with the Amish!)

Avitable said...

That's an awesome new deck! The cherub in the fountain is usually buck naked, though.

Maeve said...

Turnbaby said...

Brad: LOL Not in that shirt;-)<3


Robin: Come on down sugar--we can have our own topless cocktail hour and have the menfolk serve us!

Bucky: It seems to be keeping the birds away*grin*

Britt: Thank you sugar.
t

MM: Thanks and everything is better in UK blue--Go CATS!


Dutchy: I'll just bring the fountain--it's portable!

Finn: LOL and thanks. It was an odd sight let me tell you.


Sybil: I think there are laws about the kid thing*giggle*

Lapa37: If you are serious email me and I'll give you the contact. He's local though.

Bond: Let's just pick a weekend sugar---the guest room is ready and waiting.

Songbird: Absolutely!

Sage: LOL thanks and SMOOCH to you for getting the 'testicle lift' joke.

CMG: LMAO --don't encourage him! And the Amish are very proficient in the use of power tools it seems.

Alpha: I can't say enough good things about them.

Avitable: Thanks but he burns easily.

Maeve: Me too *grin*

Trav: Thanks sugar--would love to have you and Pam hang out on it.

HoosierGirl: Thanks but there is only one and he's staying right here;-)

katherine: Oh that it were so sugar. And yes--I like the shirt on him very much.

Cheesy said...

Do the neighborhood cats drink all the water out of your fountain like they do mine??
I figure by the time I get out that way again those copper tops should have a lovely patina to them eh?

Angry African said...

Nice deck! But not sure about the dick? Haha - sorry Brad. Was too good to let it pass. Cocktails at your place then I guess?

Not Afraid to Use It said...

It's a gorgeous deck, but I'm kind of sad about that tree. Alcohol plus full sun never equals anything good.

Sunrunner said...

Nice deck!!!
