So, my fantastic company has an employee recognition program that allows employees to recognize each other for doing a good job.

Well, it’s finally, pretty much done. But for some gravel and plants, the grant vision that is my deck has been completed. Below is a gallery of pictures including some shots of my new windows - which I hinted at in one of my initial deck postings. You get a sweet before and after shot.
I think I somehow managed not to get a shot of the two gigantic flower beds built into the deck. The house itself kind of brings down the swankness of the deck with it’s very outdated and dying siding so I eliminated those shots, but they’re the only ones with the flower beds. Foiled again!
