Tackling the deck


I had the help of a strong 17 year old on Sunday afternoon to remove the railings from around the back deck. Some of the pieces were rotted, some were nailed and others were screwed. It made the job more challenging and I was very grateful to have young muscles involved.


Today Nick arrived to start the process of ripping apart the existing decking in order to rebuild the entire surface. Never second guess what you'll find underneath the surface layer! Lurking beneath was a good sized wasp nest, cedar decking and a couple of bats!


It looks like they put plywood and vinyl over top of decking. Nick almost went through the rotten wood!!
