Deck: Part Whatever!

Another full day deck building, and we’re still not even close to being done! I really don’t know how it’s taking so freaking long to get this bloody deck sorted, but it is. It’s not like we’re standing around all day picking our noses or something, but yes, I agree that it seems to be taking forever!

But at least we now have, erm, one out of five and a half bits finished and nailed off (by guess who!?) And only a very small amount left of the biggest second area left to finish. And a huge number of short boards cut and ready to be nailed for another two sides.

Sigh. But at least I managed to bend my fingers just enough to be able to push the shutter release on the camera to get you this twilight shot of progress. You owe me!

And we’re back at it tomorrow. Apparently. We’ll see. Mind you, my wrists could maybe do with a rest after nailing all late afternoon… I give it a 50/50 chance of being finished by this time tomorrow. 40% of the 50% will depend on us having enough deck timber. That’s looking like it’s going to be a very close run thing.

But on the up-side, working outside all day, every day lately means I seem to be getting some sort of winter tan without having to spend all that money on ski-field passes etc. Which is just as well, as apparently there’s no snow on the ski fields anyway!
