I am expanding the крыльцо on my house so I have more room for others to join me when I am cooking on the barbeque. I guess that will then make it a веранда, like many American homes have for entertaining. It will not be large, and after I expand it part of it will not have a covering (smoke will dissipate better) so here we have a "deck" which forces that most hated "borrowing" дек? Yuk. I have noticed, watching Russian television, that some Russians seem to be intrigued that deck idea--Мужской канал, строительство/дача, такие.
