Work on replacing the deck began in August 06 when Michael took down the sides.

Almost lost that one in the canal.

Cutting away the boards in winter 07.

In the spring, Ron found a duck nest by the water's edge, so we had to wait a couple weeks for the eggs to hatch and the babies to leave the nest.

We left that little corner where the chairs are perched, so we had a place to sit as the weather warmed up.

Seriously getting down to the foundation here.

All ready for the beams and planks.

Work stopped again when the company didn't deliver enough wood.

Sides are up, at last.

Wires and railings. Finally! Done in July 07! Now, let's go to the store and buy some new deck furniture!

 

 

it's good to go HOME
