(Other People’s) Home Improvement: Building A Deck

In early May, I visited my friend NR. He and his wife (also a friend) just bought their first house. The house is very cool (e.g., old but recently renovated, one block from a lake, cool location, and more) but the deck was too small. As you can see in the first picture below, it was more of a platform/landing that was the space you would walk between the back door entrance and the stairs.

Deck Building - Before

While the platform is nice, it’s no deck. And the backyard has more than enough space for a deck so we decided to extend it significantly (probably almost triple it’s previous size). In one long weekend, we did so and here are the after pictures.
