Sunscreen for the Upper Deck

We've been eating dinner a lot on the upper deck.

Too bad the sun at dinnertime shines directly into Fred's face.

Terrace Almost Complete

We have plenty of landscaping yet to finish, but the terrace itself is mostly done.

Trying out the potential house color on the shed first

The garden

Drilling drainage holes in the new 8' x 3' x 2' galvanized trough which will be our garden.

Filling it with a ton of dirt (literally), one 2-cubic-ft bag at a time...

Installing the decking
