Taking the deck apart

This is how we spent our Saturday morning.  We are ready to start construction and we wanted to move the deck out of the way so we could save the wood for future projects.  There were some stubborn screws that wouldn't come out because of the multiple layers of paint that flattened the top, but we enjoyed the chance to be out and work together. 

Here is the big mess starting in our back yard, which is sure to get bigger as we keep taking things out of the kitchen.
