all hands on deck.....


 the day of yesterday i took a trip down to my home town to lend a helping hand to my sister #3 and her hubby. our mission was to replace the deck flooring on an existing deck. we hope to save the railing as to minimize time and cost. in this above pic you can see the deterioration of the decking boards, there is a slight hole on one where one brave soul broke through.




this pic shows the treated deck boards halfway done, the old flooring was 2x4's....? with no spacing no wonder they started to rot.






and the last pic of the night around 1am we called it quits for the night with the applause of the neighbors, the hammering and saw operation was not well received(ya think). the railing was to far gone to reuse but we did manage to reuse a few 2x4's. the only thing left to do was put up some lattice and possibly paint and another successful job completed.
