Why did you create a series of web pages for your deck project?

As I go through the process of designing and building our deck, especially during the brainstorming/planning phases, I wanted a single place to jot down all the ideas that I had, along with photos and drawings—basically, a design notebook/scrapbook.  Since I also wanted to share these ideas with my wife, and get her thoughts, putting everything on our web site made a lot of sense.  That way, she could review everything easily, either from home or at work.

Why do you have a collection of comments on every page?

The main goal for this web site was to share ideas/thoughts for the design of the deck with my wife.  I also wanted to get her feedback on everything, as we proceed through the project.  Having comments for every page makes it easy for her to add comments directly to a page, as she's looking at it, and enter the comments directly from the web.  The comments then become part of the design notebook, so everything is in one place.
