just a half step

 Day 10. Hot and sunny with a humidex of 35C. It’s steaming out there. The guys are hard at it today finishing the decking boards and framing the stairs from the house! Yippee! Stairs! Probably by end of day tomorrow we’ll be walking out of the house onto plank paradise..


Carm’s been out for another box of deck screws (the third box of 2000! 2 ½ inch brown screws). There’s been countless other fasteners including the big screws that cost $1 each (500 of those)...


The end is in sight. Maybe by the weekend…



I’m running out of ideas for the lunchtime snack so I just made sausages today. Do you have ideas for hands only snacks?



2:30pm. Carm just ran out again for ANOTHER load of wood :-0


We are still waiting for the deck box delivery from Costco… would like them to hurry up so I can let the dogs have a bit of a leg stretch. Plus I’m tired of watching out the window for them. (update - they pulled in just before 5pm)



Awesome!
