Deck? Check.

It's official. We have added a 12 x 20 outdoor playroom to our house that H has already taken full advantage of.

I do think that he really thinks this space is for him. Luckily there will be plenty of room for some of his things (his sandbox, the kids picnic table) a long with our things (the grill, a patio set).

While it still needs to be stained, we are thoroughly enjoying it so far.

And there is just something about checking this project off the list that feels really good.

We will get a small deck this summer with some reclaimed wood off the other side of the back, but with just enough room for a few chairs and the grill. I'm still excited for that though!; June 23, 2008 at 7:52 AM

I just power washed and stained my deck. I used Cabot stain (from Lowes), and it looks beautiful. Just a heads up on a really good product-- check out consumer reports for its' ratings.

I sound like a commercial...; June 23, 2008 at 7:56 AM
