Still Strolling

One more time.

Here is what the back deck looked like.  It was always really hot on the deck, there was never really a nice breeze, and the neighbors were always a little too 'chattty' when we were on the deck.

 So we renovated  We moved the stairs, made the deck much smaller, and used the space that used to be under the deck as our patio.  We left the stone that was there and thought that eventually we would change that - but we haven't.  It's actually good-draining, cool and cost effective.

We eventually bought a 12' square screenhouse and new furniture and we use it quite a bit.  We used to use it more, but one of the dogs ran through the screen, so it gets a little buggy in there.....
