Winner: Jonathan Paremske & John Stokes - June 2000

Overview

"I wanted to add my recently completed deck photos to your gallery section of your website. I took them mostly with a digital camera so I could not snail mail them in. We started this project just around Christmas '99 with no specific layout, except we wanted to fill the corner of the yard. As we got the materials our creative juices flowed and we came out with this design that encompassed the Jacuzzi, gave us an area for dining and entertaining, as well as an area for capturing our great Florida sun rays. We worked on this over several weekends but at a leisurely pace. We were not in a hurry to complete, but we wanted it different and something to compliment the fence we installed ourselves the previous year. We do not have carpenter experience but relied on our sweat, imagination and a lot of trips to our local Home Depot. The Dek-Blocks made it easy for us to create this unique design, yet support the 605 sq ft area of deck we created. Thanks to your wonderful product we enjoy being out on our deck every moment we can."

Sincerely,
Jonathan Paremske & John Stokes
