Half day deck project... lol...

Half-day was the time Tom estimated it would take to do the composite decking and rail on the upstairs deck which is needs for our C.O. So we had materials on hand to do the steps outside the master bedroom and front door as well since Scott, Di, Matt & Liz were all coming to help. 

This is the 'before' pics of the deck. The plywood thrown down temporarily for construction got a bit weathered over the years and we just never went out there.


Tom and Scott got a good start on it...




Needless to say, this was an all day project and the railing will get finished today. :-)  but it is BEAUTIFUL and will be low maintenance for years to come.

Meanwhile, Diane and I drew the fireplace surround on the living room floor and started piecing stone. It's more difficult than I thought it would be. It's like trying to put a puzzle together using pieces from 5 different puzzles. 







We worked on this between cutting boards and handing them up to the guys until Matt and Liz got here. Matt took over on the cutting and we girls started on the molding (Amanda and I had painted a couple boards by hand this week after work) behind the toilets.
