Handy Man Husband

A few months ago, Tanner came home for work and said, "I am going to build a deck."  Yes, we have been discussing how beautiful a huge deck would be since we bought our home in August, but I will admit, I didn't realize my proactive husband meant NOW! A little surprised at first, I was a bit nervous, but as usual Tan knows best!  He started the deck and now it is well on it's way to being my summer sun bathing heaven.  I am an EXTREMELY proud wife, obviously, and couldn't resist sharing Tanner's talent with the world.   He researched, read books, bought lumber and supplies, then began to tackle the deck of our dreams.  My brother-in-law, Scott--that is new to say since they married on 12/10 so I throw it in where I can--has been coming over in the afternoons to help while Erin and I do our weekly runs for training.  It works out great!  They hammer and saw away, we run many miles.  This past weekend, Tanner finished the decking and began BUILDING HIS OWN STAIRS.  Yes, still proud and amazed.  Here are a few pictures of the deck from start to what it is at now.   More pictures and posts to come about the dream deck as he finishes up.  Way to go Tan, your the most amazing husband and handy man!
