    One of the pics is gone. It was a cute one, too. Now it's back, go figure. Wiseguy was so cute. He's never been in a lake before and he was blowing bubbles.

    You are having a busy day, awsum. Good idea to take plenty of water with you. I decided there were lots of yard sales so I would stop at some on the way home. Naturally, I spent my hay money on expanded metal patio furniture. I'll have to take a photo when I get it home. Wouldn't fit in the...

    We are cooling down with 91 degrees today and supposedly 83 degrees on Sunday. I plan to stain the deck on Sunday since the guy told me not to stain it when it is over 90 degrees. Sunday and Monday may be the only 2 days I can do that until fall! They make Trexx decking in Fernley.

    That is the color of stain I chose for the deck. The guy at the counter told me take my time, take the card out into the sunlight, let him know when I decided. I looked over the card and thought "Not, red, not green, not dark, not white, that leaves me with "Cedar", I'll take it." Decision...

    Doug fir for the deck. Hard to get different kinds of wood around these parts. The stain color I chose is called cedar. I've got a neighbor coming by and then I have to help another neighbor with her irrigation timers. Mostly, trying to rest up. Hated the humidity in Dallas. I felt like...

    I'm 56 years old and this is my first deck so not to worry, Celti, one day you too will have a deck:) It takes time. I'm so sore from working on the deck all week and then cleaning a house yesterday, I can barely move! I need to work on getting the house cleaned up starting with the...

    Thanks for the compliments, everyone, I appreciate it. The stain will even out the color but it will not be a lot darker. It will be a bit darker though. I'll take a picture of the sample tomorrow when I have good light.

    It is a thrill to be wrapping up the deck project. I do have one more step to build [after I get the materials next weekend]. And then there is the stain to put on. I need more pavers to finish the east end. It took a month to do the French doors and deck. I hope to have all the details...

    Good morning, Voltbirdwatchers. It didn't cool off much last night! Right now 69 degrees and it will be only 95 degrees today and supposedly a bit cooler tomorrow. Let's hope so since 100 degrees is absurdly hot. The chicks are adorable. I got the two stair treads made of 8'by 30". I'm...
