Just a diary shot. Builders spent all day ripping up our old deck. We're replacing it, then having it covered. The roof is going to have slats which automatically shut when it rains. We've been talking about it for years, finally we're doing it. Ruaridh is trying to work out where his roof has gone. He spends a lot of time under the deck!
Excellent - you will be thrilled when it is completed. Our daughter, Brooke, has had a new deck put on their place and has the same rowing system - they are delighted.
