Mr. Seventies painted the lattice work...and I stained the smaller deck floor, steps and pedway to the pool deck...last evening we spent relaxing and enjoying the beautiful warm temps....can't wait til I can sit here, read a good book & enjoy a cold drink....
We set out the patio furniture...the deck is small...so not a lot of room for decor pieces...and we've decided to forgo any potted flowers...as they are more bother than they are worth...if we get wind and rain...they have to be protected, moved about and this area is on the north side of the house...where weather can get pretty harsh some times....I keep a tub of patio furniture covers on the deck to use overnight or if we get inclement weather....
The end of an era...we chosen to remove one of the exterior dachshund ramps..in the days when we had three dachshunds...the ramps were a must for herding them in and out of the house. With just Liesel now...she can be carried down the steps...
Here the ramp had been dismantled from beside the steps...and Mr. Seventies cut & stained lattice to close in the area...and plans to plant a shade loving hosta in the corner spot...then mulch around it. We still have the ramp off the pool deck for getting Liesel to the back yard...it had already been stained and repaired last week.
Today...we plan to finish staining the interior pool deck walls in the morning...(as it gets extremely hot by lunch time)....the outside walls have been completed. And plan to enjoy the pool...temps are to spike in the 30's C range. Hopefully, Saturday when the temps are cooler...Mr. Seventies plans to replace some floor boards...and we can give the entire deck floor a fresh coat of stain.
Once everything is completed...I will do the grand tour...lots of work to do in the meantime...
