The Deck is DONE. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Here's some photos from this morning, after I finished painting the benchtops and flowerbox sills.  Have now finished the entire project.  Will move on to some other project soon. . . .  Maybe I'll paint the wrought-iron railings next, but don't know if I'll do that right away or sometime a few weeks from now.

Just for sake of comparison, this is the box & bench near side of house BEFORE again.
