Our pool & deck project... On these pages, you will find a detailed account of installing our pool and deck- from excavation to installation to deck construction. I started this page as a place to show people how far I got on the deck building, but it has grown so big, and each page has so many photos, I figured I should build an index with thumbnails and links to jump to different pages. Click on the thumbnail images below to open the gallery pages.
