The deck debacle of '09

So, while we were working on the roof, the deck collapsed. We rebuilt it with some much appreciated help! Here are the pictures from collapse to finish...

Wasn't that a crappy looking deck?!

Here is Wes digging one of the holes for the posts...

The hole that inadvertently became a bunny trap...

The baby bunny after the heroic rescue by Wes. We released him back to the wild after watching him for a couple hours to make sure he was ok.

The kids "help" stay out of the way by nailing unneeded nails into the dirt...

Anne and Steve came and helped us! They were life savers and we got the whole thing done in 2 days! Here are working pics...

Finished building...

Wes and I (and Armour) stained the deck. I took pics before the snow came but they did not work, so you get some snowy pics of the finished deck!

House is looking better, huh? New roof, new deck! Nice!

(Ignore the fact that we still need to clean out from under the new deck!)
