James built the deck on the south side of the house, out of a composite (not Timbertech, the most well-known brand, but a similar one). Here is a picture of James and Patrick setting the deck railings, with a second picture of Katie and Keeper standing next to the awesome deck railings. Patrick did a wood shop course last spring so is eminently qualified to help on these projects, eh?

This is a silly picture of the Peets and our friend Dave after a day working on the house. At this time, note that there is lots of shade on the deck; watch to see what happens next month!
