So today began the next phase of the Cedar Crest Renovation - the deck. We have decided to not increase the actual size of the deck however, we have pushed the fence back so our fenced-in area now includes much more of the yard. Whereas the old deck was enclosed by a fence, the new one - although the same size - will seem larger because a lot of the shrubs and trees in the yard will become part of the fenced-in back yard. We have also included a cabana which will house the deck furniture and a washroom and some storage space. We're also adding a hot tub to the deck which will have a rooftop over it much like a gazebo. I'll explain more about what's happening as I add more photos. The photos I've added here were all taken today - the first day of the demo.

By the end of the day the arbor is gone, one side of the fence is gone and a big chunk of the old deck has been demolished.
