Progress:

Picture 1 is what I had done before the weekend and Picture 2 is what Dave and I accomplished this weekend

THANKS DAVE!!!!

Well, my big brother came down this weekend and we knocked out a good portion of the deck, unfortunately the camera is at the house and I can't upload any pictures, but you will have to imagine how awesome it looks!

We got all of the joists installed and have 1/2 of the decking installed.

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.

Some more Progress

I'm ready to set all of the support beams, all of the posts are set and anchored!

Long Day

Got everything ready for putting up the wood. Missy and I spread a bunch of gravel yesterday.

Ready for Lumber

Well, got everything done I wanted to on Friday, here is the update. Maybe get some landscaping fabric down and some river rock in tomorrow.

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.
