Well, I haven't been doing a lot of songwriting lately. And this is why. It's usable, meaning you can get on it from the sliding door and get off, even though that last step is a long one! Need to do some landscaping there, then just 23 more deck boards, and it's time for a deck party!! Soon, there will be a skirting around the deck. Probably a red brick design stucco. The only other thing I should probably do is put a banister all the way around, but that can wait.
I'm thinking that the right end there where the puppy dog is on the lounge chair will be a stage area. I have a 6 channel [analog] mixer to get two to three folks up together. Still need more mics, stands, and cables, guitar cables, and a better amp system. Then, there is 12 feet at the other end that is not under roof, and that will be used for the grill.
