Deck Progress

The work is proceeding on the deck. Michelle took the picture below and she is helping Chuck--cut boards and pass him tools. Sandy is busy constructing stairs at the front of the deck.
Have to work again tonight so will be leaving here before they shut down for the night.

Will just make supper; if they get in to eat with me fine; if not, they will eat later.

Michelle and I got to town today and bought paint about the colour of this writing; later we can paint the window frames to match. We also got a brush and 2 rollers.
Watch for further progress

Starting the framework for the Deck

Here is a glimpe of Alberta blue sky, as the project gets underway.

Some of the framework is now done. Chuck started and Sandy is now home from work. Michelle is assisting by handing out nails and tools.

The really happy man is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Chuck and I did just that once. When we were going to BC the train did not get there in time to connect with the ferry. We were driven to a posh Vancouver hotel complete with a revolving restaurant at the top floor. We certainly enjoyed that delayed trip.
Chuck was 17 that year. So it is a long time ago.
