Conatiner Garden Contained

One year into owning our first home, Rob and I have come to truly understand what being a homeowner means---fixing stuff. Yes, yes, we love our home and we don't regret taking on our home and the responsibilities it entails, but man, it does entail some responsibilities! About a month ago we received a letter--slipped under our front door--from our builder stating that our deck needed to be "re-sealed" (I put this in quotes to emphasize our doubt that it was ever initially sealed, regardless, that is the claim.) Despite the financial implications, the biggest inconvenience is that our deck, which is literally our summer dining room, is out of commission for about a week and we had to move all of our deck into our dining room and kitchen. The following pictures are documented proof:





Don't worry, we aren't going to use the grill in the kitchen...

Our sad and empty deck. We can't wait to get it back.
