Been working on adding a deck to the back of the house all summer. Dug holes, set posts, laid boards, built railings. It's done. Took way longer than I thought it would and I spent way more money than I budgeted but it looks solid. Family had our first dinner out there last night. Totally worth it. Now I need a vacation to recover from building the vacation spot.
Finished deck high is real. Now you've got the perfect spot for summer hangouts with the family. Did you treat it yourself or have someone seal it?
All summer on a deck project while juggling the kids is wild. You deserve a serious celebration on that thing now that it's done.
All summer on a deck? That's a serious project. Digging those post holes alone is brutal. How many holes did you end up doing?
That's a serious accomplishment. A whole deck by yourself over the summer is no joke. How many hours would you say you put into it total?
Finished deck projects hit different. There's something satisfying about that end result when you've been working on it all season. Bet the family loves it now.

Nice work finishing it before fall. Are you going to stain it or seal it, or just leaving it natural? Could be a winter project if you want.
That's the kind of project that makes you feel accomplished. Post some pictures, I want to see what you built.
