It was almost dark by the time it quit raining but that didn't stop us. We worked and froze in the dark.
Just about twilight time G was cutting kerf cuts into a railing post so that we can inset the support of the hand rail cap. B was sanding the edges smooth so that there are no sharp edges on any of the boards.
Once the daylight was gone we broke out the big work lights.....viola...let there be light.
The list of 'To Do' items is getting shorter. We still need to install the spindles on the two sets of steps, screw down the wide railing cap, install the hand rails caps on the steps, fill screw holes, and touch up paint.We started work on the deck on August 4th and the temperature outside was 90 degrees and sunny. Today it was rainy and in the mid 40's. Ironic that it was nearly too hot to work on when we started and now it is nearly too cold to work on to finish.
I think you guys should build decks fot people. It sure does look good. Two years ago tomorrow it as hotter than he--.
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago the weather was much different than it is now. Hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteNo...we will not be going into the deck building biz.
