This is what our deck looked like before Jason took a weekend and redid it...
The wood was warped and had not been taken care of and it was dangerous because people would trip over the warped wood. There was a weird trellis that had the vines from HELL growing on it and I hated both of them! Jason and I love entertaining and we had a great outdoor space, so we knew we wanted to make it more entertaining friendly...
First step - a fire pit. Jason took one afternoon to put this in and it got TONS of use! We loved having people over to sit around a fire at night - BYOB and a snack to share and it was a party!
The other thing Jason put a lot of hard work in to was the deck. We had some great friends who came over and helped and a majority of the deck was done in one day. As you can tell, the footings of the deck were still usable, as was the underneath structure - so we really just needed to replace the boards on the top and the railing. We had 2 sets of stairs and the second set was not really necessary, so we closed one off and created a great space for the grill.
Again, we didn't have time to really enjoy the deck and we didn't ever really get outdoor furniture, but it was so great to walk outside and see the work Jason did - he did a great job!
