Although it's not done, I wanted to show you our new sliding glass doors and decking! The deck needs steps, banisters and a facia board. There won't be any railing ....... The deck boards have special clips on the sides to hold them down...no nails or screws to worry about when you're shoveling snow!
The doors need to have the final texturing done and the base board.....
I LOVE it!!! I've waited 5 yrs to get this! Originally, where the doors are was a small window. The deck was half this size and AWFUL! The guy that built it used scrap wood from neighboring houses that were being built. You couldn't sit on it and have a BBQ on it at the same time. It had railing that blocked ALL view!!!

You did good work!!! Our outside will have to be redone too but not til next year at the earliest. We have been looking at the same type of door with the louvers inside. That way we won't need curtains (not good with dogs) and the vinyl blinds are not attractive.
Enjoy those BBQs.
