You may remember that last fall we had two windows removed and a slider door installed in their place.
This is what the back of the house looked like in September before the door was installed.
And here it is after it was put in.A deck was needed but it was too late in the year and we had to wait for nice weather to do that.
We ordered the supplies and they came last week. Bob's been working like crazy on it!
Digging up the sod and putting in support pillars and beams.
Adding landscape fabric and crushed concrete underneath.
Building the base
Starting to add the decking!
Building steps
All done!
The view from the back yard.
Here's the finished product! There's a little bubbler fountain on the right that still needs to be hooked up. We're looking forward to some nice times on this deck.

Mari, it looks great. The bubbler fountain will be a soothing and lovely complement.
Gosh - the slider door made such a positive difference!!! And now the gorgeous deck. He certainly did a great job and I know you will enjoy the deck all season!
I am impressed! He really has a talent for building things. Will you be grilling on it? The house looks so much better with the door as well, it breaks up the straight line of windows.
Hi Mari, that is great! Your husband is so talented! I am sure you will enjoy it out there!
Wonderful terrace,
you are making your home even more beautiful.
You will definitely spend wonderful moments on this terrace.
Bob did a wonderful job! I wish I had a deck at the back of the house too to relax under the sun 🌞 !
Wow, that deck transformation is incredible. It looks like Bob put in so much hard work, and the results are truly stunning. Enjoy those relaxing times on your beautiful new deck.

That deck looks very good
What a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. Bob is such a hard worker.
Looks great.
That looks fantastic. You get more light in the house too, super nice!
That door and the deck are perfect! I would have to sit out there with morning coffee and just breathe in the fresh air. Y'all are gonna enjoy that for years. Well done. 💖💖
Mari, this is so nice....not only the deck itself, but I really like how y'all placed the rock underneath it and around it. The fountain is something you will enjoy as well.. Looks great..
I love it!! What a great view to enjoy this summer!! The kiddos will enjoy it too!!
I have always liked decks but we have a slab foundation. Your home is so nice and the deck, just adds more. It will be another nice place to sit. Ha, it seems the older we get, we sure like to sit, don’t we?
Bob does excellent work - I appreciate carpentry and being able to do things.
Now get out there and enjoy!
Wow, this deck and the door completely changed the way the back of the house looks. It's beautiful and he is truly talented to build it...do you have plans to add railings, like with flower boxes? just sayin.. ha ha
I think it needs a glider or one of those free standing swings... I do love a swing. the one Dan and Michelle gave us when we moved in this house with a pool, finally kicked the bucket at age 30..
Wow, that is awesome. You are going to get so many hours of good times out there. Its wonderful to have a master carpenter at your beck and call.
Gorgeous yard to look out on too.
Happy week

The new deck looks great. We built our back deck during covid.
I have my clothes line built into ours!!
Bob did a fantastic job! Y'all will really enjoy that this summer!
What a brilliant addition to your home! I have no doubt you'll use it often. And such a great extension from your kitchen/dining - especially for entertaining. And to have a calming fountain back there - how perfect! Great job Bob!! 😍
It looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! I love it. So nice. I think your husband did a fabulous job!
Well done to Bob, he did a wonderful job.
You are going to nice times on your deck.
All the best Jan
Looks great and what a great access to your back yard.

Oh my goodness!!!! It looka wonderful, my friend! Wow!!! He did an amazing job. Now, sit back and relax and enjoy the view!
It looks great! Brings me back to when Rich and I built our deck. It was a lot of work but so worth it in the end! Enjoy!
This turned out so nice! I also like a fountain by a sitting area. Very relaxing.
It looks amazing, Mari! Nothing better than a handy husband. He does great work! Enjoy your new space and that pretty patio set.
That was fun to see! We've been talking with Frank about replacing our little side porch with a deck and ramp. Also, I would like to replace my dining room window with a slider that would open to the deck. I always said that whoever designed this house wasn't thinking. Why would we want a slider in the livingroom instead of the dining room? It makes so much more sense to have a deck and slider on the same side of the house as the kitchen and diningroom. Like our Lititz house. I'm sure you will love love sitting out there.
Wow! Great job.
Mari this is just beautiful and excellent and of course so amazingly done! I LOVE that it's raised up over the ground it sits on! And such a pretty addition to your house! Just wonderful. I just think that Bob should have got that done before my visit. Haaahahahahahahaaaaa don't do it again xoxo
