my handywork...

I tore down the old deck a several years ago and built this. I had it stained to match the trim.... In the back ground is a huge fig tree that almost lost it's life to Hurricane Fran. The winds blew so hard the tree was almost flat to the ground. It took a couple years of patience, wenching, and cabling to get it to stand up-right again. However, it seems to have survived the ordeal and is full and vibrant. I also planted three little "Bradford Pears" that have become anything but little. Their blooms in the spring are quite amazing, and lends a sense of privacy from the houses to the rear...
