Your house looks like my last house. A wideline cape rear dormered with
the same backyard.
If it was my house, I would not bother with a deck. I would put a nice
plain concrete patio in the back. Maintenance free, plus everything is
level with the rest of the backyard. That's what I did .Unless of
course you want to keep the enclosed porch , then thats another issue.


Here's the deal...the mosquito's around here are bad, thus I need a
screened porch. This will allow us to be "outside" for 3-4 more months
a year.
