and then she decked him...
my hopes of getting the deck done by the end of September are fading. fast. with the last two weekends spent NOT working on the deck due to outside forces pulling us here and there, the deck project has ground to a bit of a halt.
we are crossing our fingers that the weather forecast calling for two days of Indian Summer weather this weekend hold true. we really need to get farther along with this project. we also need Lowes to get off their asses and get some decent 5/4 decking in that doesn't smell like mold and look like crap. oh the joys of retail life on the peninsula.
it sure is going to be a KICKIN' deck, isn't it?

progress, progress
photo credits: cody clarkwe spent this past weekend building the structure of what will soon be our beautiful deck overlooking the forest. see those trees? I spend most of the winter mentally holding each and every one of those up during big nasty windstorms. I have to tell you, it is a LOT of work (holding up the trees... oh, and the deck building part too).
anyway, I digress...
our next shipment of wood will be ordered tomorrow. then the deck building will continue.

studio time? what studio time?
update: building inspector has come and gone for the foundation inspection. we have been given the go ahead to start framing!!!
we are knee deep into a summer project. we decided to expand our little 10 foot by 12 foot concrete patio to a resounding 375 square foot wood deck. with a pick axe in hand and a jug of sweet tea on the patio table (plus a week of time spent at the county building wrangling a deck permit) we have set out to creating our overlook into the forest.

a little slice of happiness
even if you think you don't want to take the time to watch, do it anyway. I really think you will find that it is totally worth it.
I know I did.
