That small space inspired a dream—to one day build a kitchen-connected deck of our own. (2:26) *Sketches and plans and construction!* From architectural doodles to professional plans, the garage and roof deck idea has been going on for a while. Fast forward to construction, and the deck dream begins to rise—literally. (3:43) *Building the pergola, changing the WHOLE deck* From visiting the Pollywood factory to installing the FlexiSpot aluminum pergola, the deck has undergone some big changes over the last few months. (8:50) *Other work in the yard, landscaping visions, and birdhouses!* Planting 50+ trees, and why we’re choosing to plant as many native plants as possible… and why is that so hard!?! (14:29) *For the kids… and the gnomes* Someone wrecked our mailbox… so we built a gnome house with other yard trash. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♡ If you'd like to see more of our construction progress on the school itself, check out my other video that gives a full tour! https://youtu.be/tpxbK0U4BmQ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me on Instagram/TikTok to see updates that you won't see here on YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/schoolhousehomestead https://www.tiktok.com/@schoolhousehomestead https://www.facebook.com/schoolhousehomestead/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to work with us?
