I need a deck!

So, as the summer of 2006 winds down, Ceci and I were able to do quite a bit to our new house. We managed to finally get grass and build a fence. Now all that is left is to put in a deck, which I am now finding maybe should have been ahead of the fence.

We went with a 4 foot high black, chain link fence to continue to architectural style that the community has adopted. At first I wanted a nice high privacy fence but on further reflection, I am now glad we went with the simpler option. Not only does it look better, but our yard in the back is only about 1000sq feet so a high privacy fence would have made it feel like a prison yard!
