A little confusion?

I have to clarify something. From the looks of the comments everyone thinks Scott built the deck on the front of the house. The deck was here when we bought the house and we wanted to go back to the brick and concrete stoop because it matches the house. The last picture posted is what it looks like right now. We have managed to plant grass in the big mud hole, however, we still have to get the gravel off of the side and plant more grass there plus fill in the hole. We also have to clean the brick up and put new rails up. I'll post more pictures once we get more work done, but with the rain and Scott's schedule, work days have been few and far between. We are hoping for a good Saturday evening!

I just wanted to clear up any confusion. Scott and I are both great at ripping out, but not so good at building...although we try! Hopefully, we can get the whole front done in the next month, or so! Once Scott graduates on MAY 2, it should be a whole lot easier to find work time!
