The Deck

We've been working hard for the past four days to get this deck put up. Saturday, we got the basic framing up. Sunday saw the floor joists, decking, and main rails in place. Monday, I screwed all of the decking down (as we had only tacked it here and there as we went), and today, I knocked the balusters out.

I did have a little help this morning. Joe and Finley helped me cut the balusters to size. (You can click on their names to see a video of them using the chop saw.)

Now all we need are the steps.

Oh, and everyone needs one of these to make things easy:

Chris surprised me one day when he came home from work and gave me my very own impact driver. Now, that's what I call romance.
