More of the Project

The first six pictures were taken first thing this morning.

 

 Jeffrey brought his pressure washer over and we cleaned the old part of the deck.  It had some moss growing on it and when it got wet it was very slippery.  Jeffrey knew that from experience.  If you look at the next picture, the steps didn't get cleaned yet and so you can see what the deck would have looked like and the difference the pressure washer made.

 This the framing for the deck boards that we actually got finished last night but didn't get in our pictures because it got too dark to take pictures.  This area is 8' x12', the same size as the old deck.

 This is just some of the color in our backyard. 

 I took these pictures at the end of our day today.  We got the framing for the extension toward the pool all done.  It is all supported and framed together all but the facing boards at the pool side.  We will finish those in the morning.

 All of the deck boards are tacked down on this section but the last one, we have to cut that and we were just running out of steam about 5:15 pm.  We called it a day. 

 Looking back toward the house.  The saw is covered up in case of rain, which we didn't get today like they thought we would and we are very glad. The picture below is just from a different angle. Tomorrow we hope to finish the deck boards and then we have a set of stairs to build and put the rail around the top.  This deck has gone much smoother than the last one we built.
