Happy 25th Anniversary to my brother Bill and his wife Kathy, they had a celebration party at their home yesterday in Prior Lake!
Yes this is the house where my deck project has been on going for the last 2 months, and I completed earlier this week. I attended the party on Saturday and got to enjoy the fruits of all of our labor, spending most of the day on the new pool deck, and taking a leisurely swim with friends and family.
It was a beautiful day and warm but not to hot, and a nice breeze at times. They had a great Bucca Pasta buffet with salads and of course later lots of desserts and cake!
The new deck and landscaping projects, were enjoyed by all who attended, which was of course a lot of family and friends and neighbors of theirs.
So Happy Anniversary to Bill and Kathy!

Deck Project days 5 and 6
The decking part is done!
Yep, I got another weekend off from R and went down to Brother Bill's place to try to finish the deck project.
As you can see by the above picture, that by Sunday evening all the decking was in place, along with an access hatch for his pump and filtration system in the lower left and also the access lid for the daily maintenance.
We also completed all the cutting on all the joists, and around the edges which need to be capped.
The next phase is the railing, which will go up soon and when that is completed the cap will go on around the outside edge.
Weather conditions were sunny and hot and somewhat humid also...needless to say after working nearly 20 hours in a day and a half, in the heat and sun...my body could feel it. Along with sore feet, from all the kneeling and moving around on the deck...thank goodness I have foam knee pads, and the pool was there to cool off in every so often.
I figure I have about 10 hours of work left...and maybe less if things go well!
