We're in the "home stretch" of the backyard remodel. The guys worked on both the deck and BBQ area this week. The deck is made of redwood trucked down from Oregon. The posts, beams and ledgers arrived with plastic wrap around each piece. I suppose the wrap keeps the wood clean during transit. It really looked new when it was unwrapped.
Julio smiles for the camera as he finishes the stone work on the new BBQ.
The crew worked on the deck most of the week. We "upsized" the ledgers from 2"x6" to 3"x6". This made a big difference in the look and structural integrity of the deck. When we added the larger ledgers the deck looks more like an arbor when viewed from underneath. I was joking with the crew this week that the deck is so SOLID that when the big one hits N. California... Elena & I will wait it out under the deck!
Here's the view from the deck with the 2"x6" redwood floor. The railing gets added this week.
Here's the finished BBQ structure. The countertop and stainless steel BBQ gets added this week.
This photo shows the stone detail on the stairs leading up to the BBQ area and deck. We had a worker at the house today pressure cleaning the stone (yeah I know on a Sunday no less). They intend to seal all stone surfaces tomorrow.
