So last weekend I mentioned that I was helping my friend Jeremy build a deck at his house. Well, this weekend, I decided to help him (and now that Nikki is back, her as well) finish the deck, but at the same time start mine. See, in our ‘hood we have a strict rule that only one deck is allowed to be worked on at a time.
On Saturday I decided to start my deck which basically meant I was destroying my arms by digging holes for the posts. I spent a goodly part of the day getting the actual size and shape of the deck figured out and I think it goes without saying that it’s going to be much big
ger and complicated than I originally anticipated, but still relatively simple. Let’s be honest though, who doesn’t like a big deck (and get your mind out of the gutter Ms. Y)?
So you may be asking, why the rush to build a deck at my house? Well, when I bought my house two years ago I decided the miniature window in my dining room would look a hell of a lot better as a set of French doors. This week, that finally became a reality. Of course, I can’t have a brand new door without a massive deck to go with it, right (again, Spring, this is not the time)? Anyway, I’m going to take some time and build the aforementioned deck throughout the coming week so I don’t get totally destroyed by the process.
