Yesterday David and I had our first snow day home in over two years. We were long overdue for one, but I had gotten over the fact that we weren’t going to get a snow day again this year.

Very nice addition to your house – and what beautiful views. You did a wonderful job in selecting the home site. One thing to remember – composite deck boards in direct sun will get hot enough to burn you – be careful if you’re barefoot.

First of all, Thank you for your service, Bruce! We can’t take credit for the craftsmanship, but we can take credit for the idea. Thanks for the compliments!

Thank you so much for the compliments. LOL! We are working on getting that Weber out there. We ran short of time before the weather starts getting too cool. We have to figure out a way to make sure the ashes and cinders don’t melt the new boards!

Now it’s simply point blank awesome! Oh the deck envy tho. I must have breached 6 out of the 10 commandments reading this post. Looks fabulous save for one thing…You gotta let your man put his BBQ grill out there! There’s room now. No more excuses missy.

Hey to David!

C., my wife and I made the drive along Skyline Drive. We stayed one night in a mountain top motel with a view like yours. We still fondly remember that trip. I built a couple decks for ourselves, but added handicap ramps due to my son in a wheel chair (atv accident). I have built several decks for others when I was in the remodeling business too. You did a great job!

You will enjoy this forever! What a wonderful view you have. We live in the flat land in North West Ohio. It’s pretty boring but I can’t complain since I don’t like driving though mountains n the winter. I just love the deck and man the view is a piece of heave. I have view envy.

Well done you two! But, you made me nervous b/c our big plans for next summer is to do a really big back porch with pavers. LMAO! Luckily I’m just in charge of feeding the buddies who will help. 😀 Absolutely love the remodel – looks so fantastic, how perfect!! <3

Hi Paula! Thanks. I am glad we went that route. Wish they had composite log siding. If it exists… don’t tell me!! 😉

Hi Diane! Thanks so much for sharing the link. I love what you did with your porch. It makes much more sense now. I kind of know the feeling because our stairs went away from our the front yard, which was awkward. I don’t blame you for not going with windows… ouch! Thanks for stopping by and for sharing! 🙂
