More Deck Progress

The guys came back Monday morning and just about finished the retaining walls. They must have worked until dark again because I think I passed their truck on the way home from gymnastics around 8:10 that night (when it was completely dark)! Here's what they had done by the end of day 4:







And then today, they were done by mid-day. They had finished the retaining wall portion and cleaned up all of their mess. They reseeded the grass around the deck, but I think we'll be ripping that out and mulching that area, but at least they cleaned up what they had done. Here's what their finished base looks like - looks great!







There are a few issues that we'll have to wait to see how they work out as the next crew comes in. We have a wooden post from the old deck still sticking out of the ground that has electrical run to it. That can't stay, so hopefully they reroute it some how to the new deck. Also, they may be leaving the huge pile of old wood they tore out.....that's going to suck to haul away, but we may be doing it - we'll see.
We're hoping they come pour the concrete tomorrow, but we'll see!
