One of the many things that has us a bit crazy lately is that we are rushing to add those finishing touches to the deck that we mentioned here, here and here.
It has to be done before Halloween so that children unfamiliar with the place don’t fall 3 feet off the deck onto the pine straw patio. Yes, we are hosting a Haunted Forest shindig, so time is a-ticking to keep the kiddies safe…except that I may scare them all away cuz I’ll be wearing this. Too bad.
So what are these “finishing touches” you ask? More hog panel, of course, since we ripped out that old railing during the staining, and…well, while you’re there…let’s move the steps and expand them!
Since we’re all feelin fall-ish, I thought a snow shot of the old railings might be soothing…
OK, so here’s how it’s been going…some new hog panel up, some fugly lattice still hanging out to taunt me…your days are numbered so enjoy your limited life….
New steps will center on the door where all those tools and crap are….
But the ground isn’t level so the CC poured a concrete pad….. (can you BELIEVE the mess?)
and last night he got the first treads up….
…and here it is next to the old steps, which should be coming down shortly. Getting close, but yet so far….soon!
