problem solved


Remember the concrete patio
I mentioned a couple
posts back? It's this 6in thick
slab of concrete.
It's cracked and painted and
just nasty looking.
We can't afford to tear it out
because it is over the well pit,
and would be very expensive.
Well,
I'm gonna show you how we fixed it.



We found this portable decking
on the Internet.
very easy to do.
They come in 1 square foot
sections that snap together.
So we measured the patio and
ordered the number we needed.
Cut the last row to fit.

You start at one corner and put
them down row by row.
The backing is plastic ribbed so
water can drain away.
put trim around edges,
stained it to match the deck
and no more ugly patio!
And it comes up just as easy, for winter storage. we've had it 4 years now.

    What have you had four years now? *scratches chin*
    If you had that neat portable decking four years, why were you stressing about the deck?
    :P

    Looks great, Bro. :)
