Yeah, right. I never rest. Should have been in bed an hour ago.

Sure you don’t want a hot tub on that porch? Must be satifying to get that done. I was working this weekend, learning Sketchup in my spare time….......what a bore. Tomorrow I am off though….....

You have no idea. Last year in March we had a big flood. We had to walk or boat iin every weekend, alll year till last Feburary. We finally got a road! We even had to boat my kitchen cabints in. And everything else. We had to pulll a frig and stove over the levee and drag them alll the way down the road on wagons, believe it or not. I’m really sick of working. Can’t wait till this is done. I really thought it would have been done this fall, but now I’m looking at next spring or next fall. When it’s done, we can sleep at least 15 people, not that I ever really want to, but we can. I had a girls weekend 2 weeks ago wiith 10, we had a blast. My husband and I go to work every day and then we go out here everyweekend and worik. I’m sick of it. I can’t wait to get into my basement and build something again. I have so many projects lined up it’s not even funny. It’s gonna be a long winter, I hope.

Yeah, that would be nice, but I’ll be 70 before we get that in.

Hey Janice,
It all takes time and effort but the end rewards will be great…....good job.

Hey Janice, great job you did there. I remember you were asking about Ipe’ wood. Did you see the comments about it being rated so good for fire and rot resistance? Believe me, I know what you mean about wanting to use the winter to do some woodworking!

-- Mike, American in Norway

let’s see, railing, chairs, end tables, outdoor bar, tiki torchs, hot tub frame, pergola roof. yea your almost done. except for cribbage boards, card table, coasters, more deck chairs, chaise lounge
now what to do with that left over ipe?
nice job, it’s a labor of love for life on the crick
h’mm need picture frames for those river pics

-- Ron, Missouri

Yes I did see the comments. I told my husband, if this was for our home, we wouldnt be using treated lumber. He built our steps to the boat dock with rough cut treated oak. They are under water most of the year and hold up really well. The treated lumber does too, just doesnt look as pretty as it weathers. Every board we laid, I kept thinking about that Ipe and Cypress, but I’m sure it would have cost alot more too.

This is just so we can get inside. We have to tear down the deck and stairs on the other side so we can put new windows and tin siding on the old cabin. It’s never ending. So, I’m thinking since winter is coming so soon, this deck won’t get done till next spring, or summer. We’re planning on adding another 8 foot on the side there and wrap around the front on the river side just wide enough to put a couple chairs on it and be able to walk in front of them,since it will be over the bank there. Not sure how yet, but it can be done. It has to be done, just so I can wash those stupid windows he bought that don’t open.
