Our backyard situation

Ever since we moved into our home, over three years ago, we have been wanting to rip off the paint chipping/rotting deck. So this year we finally decided to do it. However after we had the contractor come out and give us a bid and ripped off the whole deck to get it all ready... We discovered rot under our patio door... so now we have to replace our sliding glass door and repair all the rot damage on the house. Yikes! So now what we thought would be a fairly "easy" project, has turned too be a bit of a nuisance!

So while all the construction is going on, I am daydreaming of it all be finished for my birthday...

Luvs!
