Week 2 of not working outside the home.....

The last few weeks have been very interesting. I have always worked outside of the home and once we decided I would become a stay at home mom and wife I have been soooooo busy organizing and cleaning. By the time I decide to start college classes I may just have to remodel the entire house :)
(Just kidding)

With that being said the end of last week I talked to Jake about needing a project to do.
I decided to sand and stain the deck on the back of our house.

So Friday and Saturday I started pulling staples out, left from the carpet that was on the deck when we first moved in, then I sunk all of the nails and sanded the entire thing.




Here is the deck before the stain.






Here is the deck after all of my hard work. It turned out awesome!





Jake put new redwoods around the backyard flower beds while I did the deck. The girls played outside all weekend!





Before the new redwoods.......

After the new redwoods. This looks much better......

Looks great! I'm currently in the process of painting the rails on our deck and then need to restain the floor part... alot of work, but well worth the end result as you've already seen! Take care! Allison
