Deck and Wine Cellar

Although not totally complete, here is our deck that extends from the covered patio. The brick part is all under roof and the wood is open under the big tree. The wood is the same as our dock. It is called ipe (pronounced eeepay) and is Brazilian Hardwood (totally different from our floor). It is difficult to see what it really looks like due to the sun. I'll try to get a better photo if it is ever cloudy again. :)


We purchased our wine racking from Napa Wine Hardware in St. Helena, CA, so we needed to get someone here to install it. It is quite complicated if you do not know what you are doing. We finally found someone from Tampa who was willing to drive here to do it for us. It took him over 10 hours of work, but it is finished and looks wonderful. It will hold over 600 bottles. I'm not sure how many we actually have, but it is not that many! It will be great to have it fully operational and stocked. I now have to figure out how to arrange everything. That should be fun!
