{The Abode} Deck Overhaul

Our deck was in sad shape and needed some repairs and re-staining.  We got estimates to have it completely replaced with  composite decking but the cost was astronomical and didn't seem practical right now.

It might not look that awful from this photo but it was in pretty bad shape. We decided to remove our old hot tub and that really opened up the space.

But it also looked awful where the hot tub used to be.

It was starting to look better with new boards.

By this point they had power washed the entire deck and replaced most of the bad boards

They removed the old steps. Yikes! I didn't realize how high  up the deck was until the steps were gone!

There was a break in the repairs so we set up some furniture one weekend and enjoyed our almost completed deck.

Finally seeing the new steps come together!

We chose the color  Pine Cone by Sherwin Williams for the new stain. I love it

We added a sectional and a new umbrella.

You can see the rug we got at Costco under the sectional.  It  feels like a whole new space and we still have lots of room out there.

I realized I didn't take a current photo of the "tree house" part of the deck but here's a photo from last summer and it hasn't changed much. We replaced the electric string lights with solar string lights and they are working out well.

You can see all of our deck transformations over the years here.
