Deck the Yard

After much debate sitting on the patio drinking wine by the chimenera, we have come to a decision - I think.
Instead of concreting out to the trees for a bbq area and building the piano bar (still not done) and instead of making concrete paver stones (with the stone-making template that has yet to be used for anything besides painting sets for the high school production of Dracula) we are going to save our pennies and get the wood to build a deck from the back door to the bbq area and just cover over the existing concrete, eliminating the big step-down from the back door. So he says.

Here's a set of plans that is pretty good.
