Deck in process

So, finally after about 2 months, it looks like our deck is actually going to be built. We were hoping for the end of May, but the end of June will work! We will still have July, August and September to enjoy it.

We went through a lot with the permit office. They didn’t approve it because the contractor didn’t have a license (he is insured and bonded!!), so the contractor had to go up to Newark or Trenton or somewhere and apply for a license, which was approved, but he didn’t get the number until last Friday. He submitted the number to the permit office yesterday and we were approved. He is coming tonight to go over the plans (and get paid for the materials) and then hopefully dig the holes on Thursday!

The kind of bummer part of it all is that we are heading the Cleveland this weekend for a wedding, so I hope they don’t build it all. I need to be able to take pictures of the progress.

I am excited that we will be able to grill out for July 4th!!! What would July 4th be without a BBQ???
