Day 11. Hot and humid with a humidex of 33C at 11am. The days drone on… we are into the 3rd week of construction…
All my time on facebook has yielded some wonderful results. First there were the med alta RAF bowls, then bricks. A few days ago I listed our old deck boards, nails and all - free for the taking. I didn’t hold out high hopes but it was worth a try.
Pierre was here this morning at 9 and took all the decking boards, a few 8x10s, and a pile of lattice attached to 2x4s. What little he didn’t take he piled to make it easier for us to pick up. I helped a bit but he did the majority of the work and took it all away! Awesome!!!
Later in the day… FB to the rescue again… we had a huge stack of awkward stumps in the rubble pile so listed them on FB and before I could even put my phone down someone was here to pick them up! Another AWESOME :-)
We also assembled the new deck box, on the new deck! The sun was at the top of its arc and blazing down hard. But we couldn’t woose out as Roy was hard at work cutting deck boards. I feel guilty being in the cool house while Roy and John sweat like someone who's been dropped into hell for a day.
The step from the house is done so we can get to the pool from the house! In fact, I think all the deck boards are done now. Tomorrow either railings or stairs to the ground (2 sets).
Awesome!
“getting rid of all those old decking boards to someone who will re-use them!”
“getting rid of the big pile of stumps (he filled the back of a van with them)”
“having 2 big piles of stuff gone!”
“STAIRS”
