Before + After — Drinking with Chickens

Yet again, my “before” photography skills were cringingly abysmal 13 years ago. I definitely didn’t take enough photos! In fact…I barely took any, at all. But in my defense, having a blog where I’d need to show the before and after process was not even remotely on my radar. I don’t think I even knew what a blog was at that time.

SO. I will just have to use my words (THE HORROR!).

In a nutshell, the old deck was falling down. It was also fairly small, in the entire scheme of things. It was, however, made fully out of redwood, so when we tore it down, we actually used all that wood to build our raised garden beds (more on that in a future post). It had a set of very crooked stairs that poked awkwardly out perpendicular to the driveway.
