BBQ!

Geoff bought a new BBQ for the deck before we even found a builder or had plans drawn up.  He got a good bargain (on-line auction) and got a great stainless steel model with side/wok burner and rotisserie as well as five regular burners.  We got rid on the old one, which had been passed down from his parents.  It had lived a good life but had started to deteriorate and certainly wasn't good looking enough for a new deck.  He put the new BBQ together today and it looks awesome!

Ta-dah!!

Some more 'before' shots of the deck from below before renovations start.

Before Photos

Here are some more photos of the deck now before renovations begin.

The current view when sitting - damn wide railing is right at eye-height!

Here is our cat Charlie, relaxing on my chair on the deck.  He loves to sit out there to watch birds and sunbake.

From the ground

Our deck from the ground below.  These were taken when dad was painting the house for us a number of years ago.

Another view

Just found these picture of our view during one of the dust storms in Brisbane during 2009.
