We are going to get some work done on our deck! Our neighbor, Zach Grover, and his brother-in-law Mike Flynn, are going to rebuild it. Zach is going to put in new piers and support posts, and Mike is going to replace all the joists with pressure-treated lumber. Some of the joists are rotted, creating soft places in the deck. We’re going to keep the cedar decking, which is in good condition. We will also keep all the railings which are in good condition too. Mike came by yesterday, took down the metal sheets which are under the deck, exposing the joists. Then he could take measurements and compute how much lumber he’ll need. So that is exciting.
Meanwhile, the recent rain did not bring the level of the spring up very much. Maybe a couple of inches. So we’re still hauling water. I’m wondering how long this is gonna go on!
Sunday afternoon, we drove down to the Guilford Church for a drive-by birthday party for Lila Gregg, a member of the church who just turned 90. She and her friend were sitting by the driveway, and people could drive by and wish her happy birthday. There were large photos being displayed by friends, there was a place you could leave a card, and they were handing out cupcakes. And there were lots of balloons.
Lila Gregg - Happy 90th Birthday!
