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.

Coverage begun...

We're movin' now. Getting some coverage, with inspection by 'security'. She seems to be most enthusiastic with the progress.

MyDeckProject Blog Announces Hot Tub Integration
Monday August 6, 4:45 pm ET

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The MyDeckProject Blog announced today the placement of the hot tub onto the hot tub deck. Although not completed wired in, nor filled up with water, nor stained, nor with railing, nor stairs to get in, it places Deck Project into a clear next phase. Spokeswoman Vishnu Love Hewitt remarked, " with countless hours in the planning, preparation and building of the hot tub deck... it was clearly time". Ms Love Hewitt added, "thanks to participation of the local community we decided to go for it on Sunday afternoon. Although skeptical at first, the chief engineer called it a go, as the weather conditions were just perfectly awful with an intermittent drizzle."
The DeckProjectBlog plans to work with local union members (or not) on electrical installation, and then begin to stress test with varying levels of water. Spokeswoman Love Hewitt, continued "safety has always been a first priority, and will continue to be."

In additional news, a volunteer helped to provide a protective Banana Slime layer to a number of deck joists for additional weatherproofing.

........................ tub's in

What's that peekin' out of the corner?



Impromptu ramp to make it not only easy to get across the rocks, but get near the deck height to tip the tub over on to it.

Voila! It's on. Took of the side panels, and screwed in these boards which served to slide the tub, lift it to turn it, and mostly to roll it down the lawn on.

Still will have access to the panel. So far it seems to be in a great place.

Woohoo.
