Keep on Moving





Got a lot of show-wood up, I'm letting that angle on the deck get the best of me. I need to set up some string lines and get my corner set and just move on. Very hard to do this layout by myself.

Progress?


The building skills are a little rusty, plus with the boys helping at every turn, not much got done. Actually the ledger board is up 100% now and all of the holes are dug for posts. Inspection is on for today, concrete pouring tonight and possible setting some framing this weekend. I have Dad's and Donuts at the boys preschool Saturday Morning, the boys are spending the night at the Abbott's and we are having dinner with a few friends Saturday night, so I don't forsee too much work going on this weekend, but at least we will be out of the ground.

Another Project On the Horizon




Just in time for spring, and to take advantage of the plunging building material market, we have decided to put a deck on the house. Seems just like yesterday, I built a deck somewhere else? HMMM, any way, I'll try and keep up with it and take some photos.
