No storm damage. Just rain and lightning.

Got one railing section on yesterday. Also ran the wiring on the camper so I can pump my own poop at home. That took longer than expected.

Looking really good Jay. The hammock is the most important part of the job anyways Are you going to stain or paint any of the deck?

No. There is cladding that will cover the exposed joists a d the stair risers that matches the deck color. The posts will stay natural.

Happy Monday Troy and Jim.

Good morning Jim.

We hot the new storm door installed on the deck door last night. Definitely more than a 10 minute install like they claim on the advertising. But quicker than most.
