Making some changes to Quietwater 2.0

Now that we have the opportunity, we are making a few changes to the house. One of them you can see here. We have decided to enlarge the deck in the back of the house and also to use concrete for the decking material instead of the composite decking boards that we used last time. The boards looked great initially but they were really hot to walk on with bare feet, they stained terrible from the pool water and they generated too much static electricity when you walked on them (due to the recycled plastic bottle content) which led to small zaps every time we touched a door handle.

Since the deck is getting larger, the first step in the construction was to get some extra piers drilled - to support the addition.
