Finality

Present day, with the sunroom never started, it was to split the upper deck in half (length-wise)... was going to remove makeshift bar (built in 3 hours with leftover wood and tile) for xgiving. and then have it curl around the side of the house connecting the lower deck right into the front porch (even heights).

Makeshift bar on right, 6 person tub on left

Front Porch

My "test" deck built in 2005... built with pine (nobody uses pine for decks)... wanted cheap only temporary, still stands...14 years later (above)

Rain...

Rain...


then Sun

It's 2008

It's '08... I got a half dozen or so subscriptions... hottub has been brewing, uber grill has been a grilling... a few parties,... sh*tload of rain.... a bar,.... outdoor fridge, warming drawer... counter top... JLH gained a good 30 L B s... (but will come roaring back.. trust me on that)...

and no posting ... but Deck Blog is alive... updates soon. And perhaps some finality thereafter..

Updates

Been a slow month, nothing monumental happening, just some painstaking work. A few do overs.
Kitchen started, photos soon.

September Soundtrack

I've had many a project that has been accompanied by classic soundtracks. Did a whole hardwood flooring with Beck's Midnite Vultures and Train, I think. Yuk on the latter.

Anyways, Deck Project has been long enough to cycle through a number, but noted the following have been played a lot the last month...

First up,

JAPAN'S GENTLEMEN TAKE POLAROIDS.... Roxy Music-meets-Duran Duran-meets-David Sylvan ;-) It's a 3" CD version (which I still possess) of 12" remixes.

More Yellow.....Lost mi love on de queen's hi'way.... classic.

Many assorted lounge/ambient... but Lounge Mediterranean, which went to St Bartholemy's, and end up in the drink... has a great variety, double disc too.

Lastly.. Farina....

DJ Mark Farina..

Mushroom Jazz 4
Mushroom Jazz 2
Mushroom Jazz 10.2 (unlreased)
Mark on the Jon Digweed Show (KISS-FM, England) (unreleased)
Garden of Eden 3 (unreleased)

Coming Up

"Stick around..... It's coming up!!!"

Wasn't it McCartney off of McCartney II that sung that... or no

Wings?

McCartney and Wings?

Paul McCartney?

That "Ricky" bass he played was pretty sweet, fat rich sound.


Anyways, time to start planning and building some framework for the kitchen...

Centerpiece'd around the mega Viking BBQ. Will be fun turning those knobs, getting some serious heat going...



Can't wait for que'ing n' Love'n!!!



"It's coming up, like a flower. It's coming up, I can feel it in my bones".

Nice lyrics Paul. So heavy mate.

Progress thru Labor Day

About here's where we're at....

Railing is painstakingly slow.... lotsa detail needed...



Got a bit done this Labor Day Weekend....
