May 13th Photo-A-Day M
I had a fairly good idea for today’s letter but then Rosie reminded me Photo-A-Day M for MONEY PIT! Yes, I have a million dollar view. I have a craft room that would make Martha Stewart jealous. (okay, not really, I’m sure that hers is equally as nice as mine. HOWEVER, she probably doesn’t have deer that lick the door! HA! I win again!!)
So, Rosie thank you so much for today’s prompt.
We started to work yesterday on the decks. The contractor truly is amazed that no one has fallen through and down 2 stories. OHHOLYCRAP!! Oh SO very, very bad. Oh SO BAD. I’m on a loop in my head right now, I can’t think of any other words except really, really bad.
The contractor hasn’t started tearing down the upper deck but he said truthfully he would HIGHLY recommend NOT stepping on it. AT ALL. YOU GUYS!!! That’s where I go for moon pictures, scenic pictures. I’m on the decks A LOT. Several times a day. Every. Single. Day.
So, my first take away on the decks is THANK YOU GOD that we decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and replace the decks this summer and not put it off till next summer. We seriously debated. SERIOUSLY!! We could have had a huge disaster. Y’all know me……… I go straight to the “this coulda happened” “that coulda happened”
So, for the last day and a half I’ve had huge goose bumps with my disaster scenarios.
Thankfully, it’s being replaced. It will be stunning and I will be back on the decks hopefully before the end of summer.
So, here are my MONEY PIT (for this week!!) Pictures.
Even the back porch and the front porch have to be redone. Back porch pictures
We haven’t started on the front porch yet………… Ohhhhhhh Rosie……….. money pit……….. yup yup…….. with a million dollar view! Did you see my Photo A Day F?

I’d love a job where I could rip things apart and destroy them, especially after a 9 – 5!!!! That guy’s quite easy on the eye as well 😉
Connie Gruning
Kate, I know! I want that crow bar and a hammer! I want to destroy things that aren’t attached to the money pit.

Oh yiiiikes! But I have to say, this made me feel a little better. I spent the whole day working on restaining our front porch and I didn’t even get close to done so I was feeling kind of down. But at least we don’t have to start over!!!! I bet your new one will be amazing in the end, though!
Connie Gruning
Crystal, our decks will be amazing. WHEN they get done. Our contractor is just starting out so he only works after his 9-5 job and weekends. It’s gonna take forever!
Tamra Phelps
Your million dollar view will make it all worthwhile in the end. Just keep reminding yourself of that, lol.
Rosie
Glad you found out about the decks before you found out the hard way! Yikes! We had a money pit sailboat, it was a deep, dark hole, the pit of pits! I remember once going out and the wind changed, and a bunch of expensive equipment went over the side and down, down, down, never to be seen again.
Connie Gruning
Oh Rosie, that would be soooo hard to watch. At least the deck will be back up.

i know that it seems to be a money pit but when you are all done the place will look good enough for House Beautiful and you will be so happy….Be careful!!
