Before and After

We're getting some more work done on the house this season. At the tail end of the summer we got the deck re-done. Deck re-sloped and re-coated, new railings, new canopy, new stairs; the works. It's been on our wish list for years. We finally took the plunge.

I would have posted pics sooner except I wanted to show before and after conditions. It took me forever to find a "before" shot. Turns out I didn't have many showing the rear elevation of the house. I had many showing only the railing. The b4 shot I eventually dug up is so old...

How old?

It's so old...that it was taken with an actual film camera! Remember those?

Approximately 2002.

September 2013.

I like the "after" shot better. It was worth the wait.

And here's the b4 'n after of the stairs.

Before.

 Again, I'm much more drawn to the "after" effects.
