Here is the progress we had in the first week.
For those outside of the area, don't be alarmed by my postage stamp sized backyard. This is pretty standard around here. The deck is off the second story as our part of the house starts on the second floor (the garden level is where we moved our in-laws into. Up until now we had to go through our in laws apartment to get to our backyard. This deck will give us a little private area as well as direct access to the backyard for us and kitty.
Trust me, the cat is very pleased about this.
More to come. Until then, happy Fourth of July!
wow! this is so exciting! I can't wait to see the finished deck...I am sure it is going to be well used and well loved :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a tease!
ReplyDeleteOh it's looking great! I want to see more, more, more.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy 4th!
Glad I just saw this. Im in the process of also building my deck in my similar size/shape backyard (16x30)
ReplyDeleteI'll have pictures shortly, but good choice on the 45 degree decking, we did the same except the other way.
Oh, very exciting. Not sure if your cat is allowed to prowl the neighborhood (I assume you don't let him out the front door!), but my cat made an escape off my 2nd story balcony in my last apartment. I was shocked the he jumped down 15 ft and ran up the street (terrified).
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye on kitty.
Love the deck!!
I am jealous you even have a backyard...very rare to have in the city, you are lucky!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great so far, what a nice place it will be to relax once its done!
It is looking good so far! Maybe it will be done by the time the sun decides to come out for the summer?
ReplyDeletemeow, meow, pur-fection! show us the deck when it is all "kitted out!"
ReplyDeletepve
Very cool! I love seeing how people in the city live. :)
ReplyDeleteI just read your comments about my living room over at Rate My Space. I wanted to come by your blog to say thanks, and to give you some info on the coffee table you asked me about.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the name of the table, but it's a Martha Stewart piece. I bought in November 2007, so I don't know if it's still part of her furniture collection. You could check out her web site to see if there's any info there. If not, maybe try Googling "Martha Stewart glass top coffee table" or something like that. I've seen the table at DeBoers here in Canada. If you have that store in NYC, it might be worth checking out. Again, it was about a year and a half ago that I saw it there, but you never know....
We're getting a lot of rain up here too :-( Hope the rain doesn't slow down your deck progress too much!!

Looking good and yay for privacy!
ReplyDeleteNice! :) isn't it awesome to check something off of the to do list?! I wish I were at your stage of renovation!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking great. I can't wait to see what all you do to dress it up.
ReplyDeleteYour backyard is twice as big as ours!! Love the 45 degree angle. It's gonna look great.
ReplyDeleteHum...doesn't look like it will be ready for the BBQ on the 4th! Looks great anyway, ENJOY! Janell
ReplyDeleteI, too, am surprised at what a nice size your yard is! That deck is going to double your space...and I can just picture you out there now, with a glass of wine, overlooking your pretty garden. You must be so excited to see it complete!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking good and I love the angle of the wood! Happy 4th from Conroe, TX!
ReplyDeletePostage-stamp sized yards can be a good thing (minus the nosy neighbours) -- your $ goes a lot further, for one! It forces you to become creative with your space and determine what's high up on your list of important things.
ReplyDelete(And I love the choice to do the decking diagonally! Very nice!)
Did you get up on your roof for this shot??? ;)
