		<description><![CDATA[What would make our back yard more enjoyable? A deck&#8211;yes, that&#8217;s what we need a deck. So, last July I set out to build a deck (having never built as much as cigar box before). Late into a summer of landscaping projects, I was feeling pretty cocky. We can pull it off in a couple [...]]]></description>
