We desperately needed to have our deck refinished. It hadn't been done in the 4 years we have lived here. We are trying to breath a little life back into the deck until we make some big decisions about our house. It needs to last at least another 5 years, which requires a little more frequent maintenance.
In addition to staining the deck, we had the handyman take out the hot tub and deck over the space, rebuild the stairs, beef up the railings, and add gates to the top of the stairs. The gates are quite possibly one of my favorite home improvements. Ever. Such a small thing but it contains my child to an area of outdoor play that isn't a gigantic dog toilet bowl! On nice afternoons I just open the back door and let K go in and out as he pleases. This is priceless right now!
I don't have finished pictures but you get the idea.
Adios broken hot tub!
Look at that beautiful gate!
Sidenote: Pinterest isn't just a time killer. It actually inspires me to do things. Like clean my entry grout for the first time in 4 years. Yep. That is gross.
