Here’s the dilemma: I would like to extend my deck spanning the whole back side of my house. That would give me a HUGE deck! The addition only is 12X33 ft!
My only concern is that the deck would take away daylight out of my finished basement. We have a play/family room, a bed and a a fullbath in the basement. The deck addition would take away a good amount of light from the play/family room.
So I guess the ultimate question is..
What has more resale value: a huge deck or one room in the basement with either more or less daylight?

Thanks all!

I need to plant something in my planters on my deck railings that will be in shade/part sun. I even tryed to plant marigolds and something will clip the blooms from the stems. I really want some color for my deck in the summer months.

I sealed my deck with a Thompson’s like water sealer and I put too much on. Now the deck is exceptionally shiney and sticky; how do I correct this problem? Will Turpentine take it off?

I have tried countless times, but can never succeed in bridge shuffling. When I’m asked to shuffle decks, I try bridge shuffling, but the cards go everywhere. How can I learn to bridge shuffle a deck of cards without them going everywhere? Any tips?
