moving right along, despite the rain

By Friday evening, Stanley had the tongue-in-groove deck placed. The next steps are trimming the end, sanding, rounding the edges, priming, caulking, then painting. I get to choose the color—I’m not sure yet what color it will be yet, other than it will not not not be battleship gray. He managed to figure out how to deal with one of the framing boards that was way warped. This porch is solid!

Wiping up the puddles that got under the tarp—there was an inch of rain last night! (click to see it big!)

The deck done, not yet trimmed. (click to see it big!)

The edge trimmed, in the middle of sanding. (click to see it big!)

Stanley replaces the porch
A closer look—it’s looking so good. (click to see it big!)

Assessing the sanding. (click to see it big!)

Getting ready to round the edge. (click to see it big!)
