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....

German Quality Control



The Berlin Bowser, AKA the Hamburg Hound providing some quality control.









Hot tub cover sturdy. Check.












Deck cover lounge-able. Check.

A Visit From the Deck Whisperer

The DECK WHISPERER visited me as an oracle-meets-muse...

I quietly stood still, she floated heavenly across the redwood and stainless steel...

Then...

She paused....

Slowly looked up, opened her eyes....


and asked me, "WHAT THE F*%K are you doing with a pink extension cord ???"



I was hoping she would answer that for me.

More Art vs Science with Posts

Uh oh..... that's not good...


Time to go Grizzly Adams with a little Lincoln Log action n' whittlin'



Viola!

Postal Afterthoughts

Man the afterthoughts pour like hot butter on ....

Just a pain to run into this crap...




Strength/support isn't really compromised either.

I call it "Web With Wood"



Next morning the little f'er had taken every little piece of sawdust off. Shame to still have to tear it down.
