What a weekend! 450 square feet of IPE deck on a new foundation to
replace an old cedar structure that was rotting out, top and bottom.
Started bright and early (0600) Friday and just about done at 1400
today (Monday). Dallas heat/humidity made it a real sweater, but lots
of Gatorade and a couple of advils each evening kept the old body from
pooping out. Had help Friday (hired type) digging holes for the posts
and laying out the foundation, after that it was a 1 man show.
