Deck progress report

Hello! Want to see how the deck is going? I'll show you...

It's coming along well! Dad has nearly finished this 'long' section. We don't have any back steps yet, but I can still get up on there!

See?

The other part that's undercover is next. Then the new back steps will go in and the fence and railing (to keep little people like me safe!). The interesting 'tarp' construction was done last week - it was raining which made it difficult to get anything done. Of course, as soon as Dad finished putting up the tarps, it stopped raining...

It's fun walking up and down the spare pieces of decking

I'll show you some more pictures later

Brad the builder! Can we fix it? Brad the builder! Yes we can!! (oh, well, I think so...)

Work commenced last week on repairing the back deck...

This is the 'before' image.

After removing the railings...

... and 'stage 1' of the decking.


Alison found it necessary to inspect the work and decided that she would don her trusty new 'backyard boots' and become the new foreman for the job.

Keen to examine every detail, there were a few hurdles to overcome (literally!) in completing a full inspection. "Didn't there use to be some steps here??"

One of the main posts - also one of the main reasons it needed doing!

So... on with the gloves!
