Did it like a BOSS! Well...for my first attempt at building a DECK!

I truly enjoyed the movie "The Other Woman" and thought the star of the film was Leslie Mann!! She is my new woman crush!! I have a few....Nigella Lawson(for food), Gail Vaz-Oxlade(money smarts), Julia Roberts(cause deep down I want to be like her..) and now Leslie Mann(for her humour). During the scene where Cameron Diaz says "Martha Stewart handled prison like a BOSS", came to mind as I measured, nailed and used the reciprocating saw(just looked up that word on Google, went by the pictures...had no idea what it's name was)....to make a mini deck for our new shed!

This year...the back yard was fixed up...new fence, shed, storage bench, donated a wooden playhouse(that was a chore in itself...but saw a cute dude strip on the street to help in the process of moving the house) and try to make an area for the BBQ(I call it the BBQ STATION!)....and it's only the beginning of July!

The Doghouse..err SHED!
Complete with a mini-deck!

Once the shed was completed, we had extra room from where the old shed sat. So I thought, "lets build a mini deck there..!" And we did! I could see what I wanted in my mind...and I tried to explain it all to Hubby! Finally it all came together!! I felt proud!! I am WOMAN...I can build a deck!! I might not know the terms of the tools...but I know what I wanted to use, the thingy...you know what I mean!!?

Using the saw, I had my Daughter sit on the wood, for weight!! She told me that her bum got a massage! We spent time together...building a deck!! I am showing my Daughter and my Sons for that matter....that anyone can do anything! Regardless of gender or race! If you think it...you can do it...or at least try to do it!! I know I messed up along the way in the building the deck, but those experiences better us!! We try, we learn, we mess up and try again...!! It's the fun part of life!! When I completed the deck...I turned to my Daughter and with much enthusiasm said, "Momma built the deck like a BOSS!!"

Now to build an outdoor kitchen island for my, errr... OUR..... BBQ Station!!
