This is the before picture where I wanted to put the deck for the gazebo. The main reason for doing the deck is so I can have a nice level area to put the gazebo on, have it secured so it doesn't blow up on the roof like the one last year did, and get Scott out of the house more and enjoying some fresh air away from the fear of bugs and mosquitoes.

This area was in pretty bad shape, and was a big frustration for me. I hated to look outside. I wanted a nice back yard area to relax in and entertain with barbeques, and swimming. This was quite the transformation!
