Turns out it was all a show and wow did he ever have me fooled!.
Changing out the railings from that tired-looking old lattice really made a big difference.. You could easily do the same thing with any deck by taking it apart and re-shaping it, or even just moving and re-sizing some stairs and railings.It’s amazing what a difference you can make with a few basic DIY skills and a little creativity!.
We really wanted a comfortable to spot to sit out on the deck, but we also wanted to be able to walk without interruption from the back door to the stairs.There was really no good place to put the BBQ, so we came up with a pretty fun solution.. We made this little BBQ nook off the side of the eating area so it’s like the cooking station is kind of built in to the “wall” of the deck and we can easily cook and put food right on the table without having to travel far at all.. Just that tiny little deck extension really opened up the whole deck and made it feel so much bigger!By the way, Chris insisted that I at least pull that giant weed under the deck for this picture.
Clearly, I did not.Keeping it real, people.
No smoke and mirrors around here!.
The last thing we did before adding in the fun pretty stuff is give it a good wash with some.So now I have one more reason to love the mighty onion!
Try this one out for yourself!.If you end up using regular onions for your avocados, here’s.
my trick for cutting them without tearing up.That may come in handy!I have seen some mighty impressive bookshelves out there in internet-land in my day.
