The long awaited deck

May 25th, Andy started on our deck that we have been talking about for a few years now. On May 27th, all 16 of the holes had been dug, cement poured and he began to work on the headers. He battled with the rain most of Memorial weekend.
May 28th, most of the headers were in. If it weren’t for the rain, it would be further along.
June 2nd, all the supports and beams are in. I helped out when MaKayla was napping and after she went to bed at night. I enjoyed helping Andy and having him teach me a little of the trade. Most of the deck boards were screwed into place as well. I need to get a picture. Andy is building a roof over the octagon shaped portion to protect his fair skinned girls.
