UPDATE

We only had 1/2 day to work on the construction project yesterday. The posts have set up beautifully, so while I delivered eggs, Big John filled in the holes with dirt and began securing all the stringers to the posts with 4 inch lag screws. I came home just in time to drill the last 6 holes for him! Great timing on my part!

Then we bagan to cut and attach the floor joists. We only got 1 1/2 sections completed before it was time for evening chores. Here's a look at where we stand now:



Today we'll run the rest of the joists and spacers. Then we'll lay the decking, and should be finished with all the building material on hand. Seems like we're moving along at record speed (knock on wood!)

Stay tuned for an end-of-day look at the progress! Happy Friday!
