Fruits of a sunny Saturday's labour

John and I were impressed to see our deck builders on-site this sunny Saturday, and it looks like it was a productive day. We were on our way to Kingston to pick up a tub and sink donated by our dear friends to the Boucher-Thurston cause (our builder wasn't able to do this after all), and stopped in on the deck crew to say hello. This photo doesn't show the platform that leads out from our office, but does give an idea of the effort put in so far. The decks will be constructed mostly of untreated cedar; the supports are made of pressure-treated lumber.

We're behind on a few fronts -- electrical, front porch, brickwork -- but we're hoping for a good week this week.

Ha! I know. I had to figure it out, too. When we were over there tonight and the guys were working on the decks, it was obvious that they need those platforms to stand on. Once there are stairs, they won't need them. I dream of stairs on the house -- any stairs at all!
