Stu's Project

Stu and I have been trying to figure out a way to make our back patio more usable and safer for the little ones (the littlest one, in particular).  We looked into making it a one-level deck, but it was too expensive to hire it out and Stu didn't have the time to invest into a multi-week project.  He finally came up with the idea to partition it off so we can put a gate in to keep Amelia from going down the steps unmonitored.  He got to work on Monday morning and finished it today... well done to him for finishing it in less than a week.  He took a couple of vacation days, but had to squeeze in some office work throughout the week.  Plus he always has 2 little distractions wandering about.  Let's be honest... he has 3 distractions.

See, we don't really need a boy.  I am guessing that two little girls that adore their dad are just as enthusiastic about a project (pink polka-dot skirt and all)!
 Amelia had to be involved.
 Perfectly level!
 She is pointing at something... 
 Seriously, Mom.  Why can't I be out there??
 The finished project:
Now we'll have to wait and see if our Homeowner's Association notices it, and what they will say if they do!

Good job, Stu!
