A Floor for A Door

I got a little creative with our old deck's floor boards. Our front pool deck gate was in terrible disrepair. So much so that it was very difficult to open and we decided to lock it shut and not use it. Of course this just wasn't convenient, especially being summer time and needing ready access to the pool.

So, I removed the old one and built a brandy new one; well sort of in that it's a new gate, just used old wood to construct it. It's not the prettiest, and perhaps not the best workmanship but it does work and we can use it once again whenever we want/need so there!

After all what was I gonna do with all this old decking? Our weekly curbside trash pickup does not take this type of material! However, the town my dad lives in will take this stuff, BUT I didn't want to take it there for fear he'd pull it out and keep it. This in itself is a long story...
