We will start at the front porch that was built using the same materials as the house. On the upper level there are two built-in planter boxes with impatients planted every spring.

Looking to the left a little more is the shed, when the deck was first built this was a sand box for the kids, now since they have long grown out of the sand box faze, a more useful shed is there

Standing on the kitchen deck an overall look at the property. The screened-in porch is out of the picture to the right

Overall Look

While walking around photographing there is this dragonfly landscape ornament near the pond that a real dragonfly landed on, with camera in hand, viola That’s Kewl.

I built this deck in 1984 and I have been maintaining it and the property for 27 years.
