Some of the wood used in this piece came from leftover lumber use in the building of my deck.  I am especially proud of this deck in that I designed it, built it and hauled every piece of wood from “Home Depot” in my little Hyundai Accent, (most of the boards were 16 feet long!).  The deck is a split level structure with a roof.  The roof is held up by 5 wood pillars cemented four feet into the ground, which I found out after I started digging, is solid clay (and very heavy!).  It has a long bench on one end of it, also made of wood, which I steamed and bent so that it has round or curved corners.

The deck has been used frequently throughout the years; many meals served, many conversations held, several squirt gun fights and other games.  Grandchildren have taken some of their first steps on this deck and taken long naps (along with grandma) on this deck.  As the grandchildren have aged so has the deck, it has received several new coats of deck stain and a few repairs here and there.  It has been the home to several little bunny families underneath and a few bee colonies on the roof. 

The wood used in this piece is very special, may it bring you as much happiness as it has me.
