August 4 - Deck Progress

Welp, we did it! We hit our milestone of getting all the TREX decking laid down by this past weekend.

Steve got a good amount done on Thursday and Friday, while I was at work and I helped him finish up Saturday/Sunday. Well, Papa actually ended up coming over for a bit and helped put the finishing touches on the decking.


I brought Bella up for a bit, but she wanted to jump down! 
I didn't want her to break a leg, so down she came.

So much area to fill! We plan on putting our furniture up against that back wall with a large umbrella. 


Two peas in a pod. (FYI, those TREX screws and plastic hardware to keep the boards together - cost $37 per box. PER FUCKING BOX! We went through like 12 or 15? I'm going to scrounge around on the ground and look for the ones we lost. For fuck's sake. $37. 

Here, he's using the jigsaw to make a cut-out for the post.

Meanwhile, the girls:

Playing soccer, lol


Definitely braver this year! My goal is to get Ava swimming with no floaties by the end of the summer. 



we built a fort to get out of the sun

Next up, the cement pad for the stairs. While Steve is working on that, I'm going to get started on the railings.
