Mike finished rebuilding the deck today. He is a good worker, and a hard and steady one as well. I am pleased with the result. He arrived at 7a.m. this morning and worked steadily until about 3pm. At noon or so he was joined by his friend, Adam (who is a realtor in Newfane) to help him put back up the metal sheets - a two-person job. Everything looks really solid, and it should last for a long time. One less thing a potential buyer will have to worry about, and we should get a lot of enjoyment out of it as well. The new pressure-treated wood will need to weather a bit before we stain it - a job for next summer. Here are a few shots:
This is how it looks now

This shows how the new joists sister the old ones
Tomorrow, Ellen will deliver a meal to Tony and Margaret Dale Barrand, and then we will go down to Northhampton and have an early Thanksgiving meal outside with the Feinlands. It promises to be a beautiful day weather-wise, so we are taking advantage of that. We'll all be wearing masks and be socially distanced, so it should be safe and enjoyable.
