The deck was in a horrible state, with mold, mildew, and rot.

Even the Trex planking was horribly stained and mildew-y.

Much of the underneath support was bare, unpainted wood.

Lots of pieces were cracked, broken, rotted, or missing altogether.

First order of business... pressure washing!

Added rat wire so that skinny foster dogs can't slip between the spindles.

Added a gate to the lower deck so that the dogs could go out there
