A big thanks ... our deck and contractor Well, I have to give a big thanks to Steve (our contractor) for finishing our deck. I think he either felt sorry for me or Michelle, most likely Michelle. As it probably appeared that I would never finish it . He had a couple of his guys finish it one afternoon. I didn't ask, neither did Michelle ... so a huge thanks to him for doing it. We're now "in" our temporary deck. We'll need some sort of umbrella, as the sun is fairly scorching and there is nowhere to hide from it out there.
