The deck was done a few weeks ago, but now we are starting to put all of those finishing touches on it that will make it so much more fun and functional to use. Since picking up the deck furniture, we have already been out there a lot more, and it will just keep getting better as it warms up!
We looked around for furniture for several weeks, from places like Home Depot and Lowe's to consignment stores to craigslist. We got several recommendations to look at Sam's and Costco, so I took to calling Costco every Friday to see if they got in any deck furniture, and last Friday they got their first pieces in. We were there Saturday morning, and all we had to do was load it up. (And by load it up I mean wrangle three huge boxes onto a pallet that kept wanting to move, drive that thing through the store without hitting anyone, and muscle it into the truck bed. And since there weren't any cart guys available to help us load it in the car, Will and I beasted the boxes into the truck bed ourselves. Thanks Crossfit!)
Later that weekend, we picked up this cool firepit from Home Depot. We had our first fire the night of the Superbowl, but I know we will use this a lot more to extend the amount of time we can spend on the deck.
I love our new setup, we even had dinner on the deck one night last week by the light of our one working spotlight. It was a little chilly, but I was so excited I didn't care!
Now all we need is an umbrella and some lighting upgrades and we done!
