Days 15 - 17

3 - 5 November 2008


After a couple of days off due to rain and the Melbourne Cup, the boys get straight back on the job, ripping up the old deck.

As it turns out, most of the deck, joists and stumps were rotten right through and needed to be replaced.






Just as well we discouraged people from walking on it, huh.












The deck has gone.












The spotted gum decking is laid out beside our bedroom.













And voila - this is what it looks like, with balustrade.















Next, Brian and Damo rip up the decking under the dining room windows....














...and beside the dining room itself.














This is what it looks like, sans deck.

By the end of next week, we'll have a fancy new deck around the house.

Very excited.
