Busy Days

"We need to stain the deck," she said.

"Okay," he replied.

Or maybe it was the other way around... 

 

 

We've been waiting for a stretch of dry weather

to tackle the deck.

Silly me, I thought we would

 wash it

slap some stain on

call it good.

I knew that wasn't going to happen when

 Tim started talking about replacing screws.

 

One bench has been eliminated.

The other will get new boards.

We are sanding

and treating

and reassembling

and at least one other step that

I've already forgotten.

 

He is thorough.

And I will appreciate that as

time passes and we can

laugh at the need for deck maintenance.

 



Sunday Evening

the following:

The hammock was hung.
