It was such a beautiful day that Lennard came home from work so we could work on the deck! Lennard got to take the kids to school and they were SO excited! Since the kids were both in school, we worked all morning without interruption. We got the end board put on and everything squared up and hurricane straps put on to secure the joists to the beam. We also cut and installed boards in between the joists to keep them nice and secure.
We had to pick the kids up from school and I think Emma had told the entire school that her daddy had the day off (lol). She was pretty excited that 'her whole family' came to pick her up! They played with friends all afternoon while we worked and then got to go to another friend's home when she got off school! We got so much done as they played!
We got the border put on and the first row of decking started when we decided to call it a day. I didn't realize it at that point, but later in the evening I was pretty much glowing from the sunburn I got. Oops! Guess sunscreen would have been a good idea.
