Deck make over

Last year we had hail damage to our roof, siding, and deck. Luckily, it is covered by our insurance. We got the siding and roof fixed right away, and now we finally got our deck refinished last week. Here is a before picture.

And another before picture showing the color a bit more.

We chose a deck stain that is thick and textured. It is supposed to last 10 years before you have to redo it. So we'll see.

And this is how it looks now. Ben even went and bought me some new plants to pretty things up back there. Our last plant died while I was in Utah/Idaho.

I love the darker color!

And a few butterfly pics, because, well, just cuz.
