Bob and our elder daughter spent time yesterday lugging things in the backyard where the builder had left them when he demolished the old deck and built the new one ! The deck is a full flight above the backyard and the new one has a great stair case... so up they lugged things! I remained on the deck being handed smaller items...
Now as to the huge grill... too heavy for them to get up the stairs. So it is protected under the deck for now!
Harper and Scout ( her two dogs) love the new deck and have chosen two opposite corners where each can survey the backyard and their neighbors' yards!! And they love racing down the flight of stairs if they see a squirrel or some other creature! Or if someone throws a ball or toy from the deck to the ground!!
The rest of the deck amenities will wait until spring... but since yesterday was warm for November we enjoyed sitting at the table and chairs with a drink and cookies! Just rewards for our "work".
We went back out to our older daughter's today. We had some outdoor stuff planned but rain arrived early this afternoon and stayed!!
The dogs were delighted to see us and we helped with some household chores. It has been very busy at our daughter's non-profit so household chores had been delayed. She "re-paid" us with dinner .. a new recipe. Pre-cooked bratwurst wrapped in crescent rolls and baked... plus raw veggies ( carrots, snow peas, peppers, tiny cukes) and home made dip. All good especially since I didn't have to cook!
On our way out we took stuff to her trash bin and placed it out by the street.. tomorrow the trash guys come!!
