It has been a long road getting our old deck back to life. After we took the pool down around 6 years ago. The deck just went unused and unmaintained. About a month ago we decided to repurpose it into an outdoor space. So, we ordered a 10' by 10'aluminum gazebo with a steel roof. And to get the deck cleaned up. I'd need a better pressure washer then the little 1200 psi washer I had.

And bought a surface cleaner for it.

This deck is a mess! Full of old fence we lost in a wind storm.

Deck floor stained and looking good. Just have the railings to do.

Now the seafood part. Since I worked on Fathers Day. I made a mess of seafood.

King Crab and Stone Crab claws. We also had lobster tails. And while eating. We decided to put a new pool in next year! Can't wait for that. I've missed having one.
All in all. It was a fine day. And a nice outdoor space.

Looks and sounds awesome
 
Very nice Steve. Great repurposing of your deck. That seafood looks delicious. Excellent work.
 
Great job on the deck Steve, it looks like it came out great. Also looks like a great way to get a new toy (the pressure washer)…..and a new pool!

Nice haul of crab legs too!
 
Nice set up.

I actually prefer the taste of snow crab legs over King. They're also cheaper. They're also easier to crack. But I had to stop buying them. My best purchase was a while back - I got a case of $3.99/lb. That price spoiled me forever. Today my grocery has them on sale for $12.99/lb. I don't think so...
 
Great job on the deck and gazebo Steve! Even better job on the seafood!

Excellent refurb on the deck Steve! Seafood dinner was a nice prize for all that work. Points for both!
 
Boy howdy, you pulled off a ton of fine work there Steve, topping it all off with a great seafood cook!. A pool is a standard requirement of life here in AZ, I reckon you'll make good use of one! RAY
 
Seafood should be a food group all by itself, we love it. I'd be all over that, Steve. And the deck looks nice, too.
 
Great work with the deck Steve and the gazebo looks killer. Nice job. Now...let's talk about what happened to my seafood dinner invite :emoji_laughing: Good looking stuff right there!!

Thanks Ray! It'll be strange not having the kids in the pool with us. But we'll get used to it.

Snow crabs are tasty. Though a lot of work for small pieces of meat.

Looks great. One day I will have a yard big enough to have a area like that.

Thanks Jim!
