Tom spends many of his weekends putting his skills to work for his family. His daughter and her husband bought a house with a rotting back deck that had serious weatherproofing issues. Melissa and John had enlisted their friends to help them take the old deck apart. The deck had held snow and ice against the sill for years, so the sill needed to be repaired. They wanted a back door that wouldn’t leak heat as badly in the winter, so we reduced the opening from a generous eight feet to a more standard 6.
