New Deck at the Lake

Jon is helping us to build a new deck at the lake.  The wood on the old one was rotting and people were starting to break through it. 

Here's the old deck. Monday June 24th, Jon and I met at Home Depot and bought all the stuff for the new deck and took it out to the lake.  Then we destroyed that old deck and I took it to the dump on Tuesday.  Jon went out Tuesday and Wednesday and started setting the blocks.  This is the hard part, getting them in the right place and making sure they are all the same height.

Saturday we worked on getting the rest of the blocks set and the boards cut and in place.  It was so much work.  We were all so sore and exhausted by the time we were done.

We finished the deck on the 4th of July.  Here is Garret putting the last tile on the deck.

 It turned out so good! We are going to love it.
