I came downstairs to this, this morning... Creepy Molly, waiting by the front door.
But waiting for what?...
And when I got the house resided last fall, they mentioned that the deck was pulling away from the house... YIKES!!! I thought we'd have some time and we probably do. But then I was talking to my brother yesterday and mentioned the deck thing. I walked out in the cold to see if I could find evidence of what had been reported to me and found this... I sent him this picture, then walked all the way around the house instead of going back by way of the deck.
The desk is verboten for now.
It appears to only be on one side of the deck. My brother got nervous about it, telling me about a deck that collapsed once and hurt a young couple and their realtor. He said, "just rip off the deck and build it again." WHA??!!! I can't afford that! So he called me the next day and said that he'd be nearby this weekend for a ski day and would stop by my place the next day and check it out, maybe fixing it for me!
I need to buy some steaks JUST in case he's able to fix it. Jen's dad might be here that day too and assist.
If they're not able to fix it, then I'll probably just make some Hamburger Helper for lunch...
Might need to save my pennies to get some pros in.

Ugh-I'm sorry. We will be pulling out deck down, but it is not a high off the gourd, so if it did fall, a roll and tumble would probably be the worst, but odd things happen. Maybe they will be able to reinforce the structural integrity. Good luck, and hey, Hamburger Helper is a real treat if you aren't the one having to cook so I'm sure appreciated just the same as a steak.
