We have completed installing the boards for the deck. 

The railing is still being designed so we will have to move on to other projects.  That does not stop us from enjoying being out on the deck and enjoying this great space.

Day 364

My how time flies.  Seems like just last month we were working on this house.  Now, that Brian has returned from Ireland, it looks like we can get back to work.

We are drilling and mounting the rail posts for the deck.

Day 362

We are attempting to re-paint the front door, again.  We also have the final hardware ready to install on the door, too.

The best forward momentum today was Brian starting installing the deck boards on the second floor deck.

Day 361

September 1, 2005

Moved on to a small project that we thought we could bang out and complete... yeah, right.  We attempted to paint the front door, today, but something did not go correctly and the paint is not adhering properly.  So, we will fall back and try, again.  At least we finished the painting of the second floor in the garage.  We just have to wait for 72 hours before the floor can be used.
