Back to that deck idea

You may remember that we considered adding a deck a couple of years ago. Look, I really want a pool in the backyard but that ain’t happening. So we’re gonna build a deck instead. I mean, we’re going to pay someone to build a deck. It will be a fairly basic rectangle that surrounds the basement steps with steps toward the driveway.

I am a little worried about what we’ll do with the corner between the deck and the side-porch. I have some ideas but I’m not sure how feasible they really are. Yep, there’s a pool or two in there. A girl can dream. Whatever we do, it will have to incorporate or cover up the concrete sand box.
