Progress on the Deck

But first... here's a yucca plant from Tucson: Today and yesterday we worked hard on the deck project here in Arvada, Colorado. The joists are all in place and nailed down. Pockets are built for the railing posts. The real challenge has been designing a deck to cover up the "backyard retreat" that the previous homeowners had built. Between a tiny patio, flower boxes, crumbling retaining walls, and a small deck, it's not been an easy project.

But the food's good! Weather has been fine, but it's thundering and cloudy right now. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow.
