My wife and I love remodeling and renovation so much we wanted to create a forum for others in the local Richmond, VA. area. If you have recently completed (either DIY or with a the help of a remodeler) a project please submit a before and after picture and a brief description of the project. Our goal here is to pass on our knowledge to others through trial and error. If you have a funny story about your project please share it.



Here is our entry: Completed Summer of 2008


(before we had a 12x12 standard deck)



Deck Renovation and expansion





(after we increased the size of the deck 400% and added a pergola and electrical)


Most the work we did ourselves (electrical we needed a contractor for that).
