sprucing the goose, part 12 million

See how dark that untreated wood is? Well, after just ten years in place, it also had big holes and spongy places. So we decided to switch it out. Sadly it was under construction while Erin was here, so she didn't get much use of it. We bought just enough wood, and now it's perfect. I have yet to style it (awaiting painting of the front), but with the workers I have, that will happen soon!
