I am very tempted to "pull a Bush" and report "Mission Accomplished" with the deck...but we are just not quite there yet. Ahren and I worked long and hard this weekend to finish off the decking, railings and nail down the trim, but it was a big job and we had other commitments, so we were very sad to call it a night with just a few hours to work to go last night. In the end, we'll probably call Lou back in to help out with some gutter repair and trim repair, because we are losing steam. Ahren, bless his heart, is a perfectionist. There have been many points in the project where he has added hours of work to the project because he had to make something look right. And he was right to do so every time - the entire deck is gorgeous!
At this point, minus a little bit of trim, the deck is beautiful and fully functional. We are really happy with the result, though now we feel like the rest of the house needs a make-over to match the deck! Not gonna happen...this year at least. For now, we have a few more hours of work ahead of us, and then we're going to take the rest of the summer to enjoy what we have created.
