Very nice! Make sure that your plants/mulch etc are insulated from the deck, or you could cause more wood issues there.

Don't let my wife see this- I got too much to do already!

My advice (to any of the young men listening) is to NOT get good at these things. My friend who can't even swing a hammer has a much better social life than I do.
 
adios its completely boxed in under there with treated lumber so...the box may rot after many years...but the deck should be safe..this deck might have 2 more years of life left anyways
 
I like it. Some aquatic plants in the tub would look good too. I grew up having fiberglass fishponds in the yard which were cool.
 
nice job on the transformation! And it's the same way here at our house, wife always has visions and I get to fulfill them for her.....lol. Like BTUser said, if you shy away from learning how to do all these chores, you'll have more free time!
