DECK BUILDING - DAY 3

9:00 AM
Matt and the kids got an early start on the deck this morning while I was cleaning the house... Blake thought he was pretty cool hanging his legs down through the deck boards like dad... got cleaned up and headed off to Church.


3:00 PM Trinity and Destiny bringing over the last deck board....great team work!



Nana and Papa made a surprise visit...I hope it was to help out because we put them to work.... this was the last deck board to go down.

Dad and Matt finally got started on the railing.... WHILE...........................................


Mom and I started supper.....


A BBQ full of food...potatoes, hotdogs, ribs and chicken. With some yummy potatoe salade, cucumber and ice cream for dessert.

The kids are off quiet so we worked an assembly line to make the job quicker, Matt put the 2x4's in place, I marked the balisters, mom held them for dad to cut. The job was done in no time... It turned really cold, but lucky for us the railing is finished.... and mom and dad headed home...

8:30 PM

The upper part of the deck is finished (except for the caps)....Doesn't it look nice! Great work everyone.... Can't wait to use it tomorrow!

it so nice to have a deck! Greg built me one a few years ago at our old house by himself and it took a while not 3 days that's forsure! Looks awesome!
