Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Got back to Bravo Compound yesterday evening. We had planned on staying at Alpha until next Wednesday, but John from Dream Decks called yesterday morning and confirmed he was going to get started early Monday morning and was bring equipment and paperwork over last night. So, after the Warden's Doctor's appointment and I got the very wet lawn mowed, we headed back to Bravo.
25 at Zero dog thirthy this morning. We're up to 40 now that the sun is up, snow is all gone and we have clear blue sky.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Got the kitchen deck and the upper deck above it cleared off and ready for demo to start in the morning.

Had a good Easter Dinner. Wild Turkey, stuffing, baked potatoes', deviled eggs and salad. I'm stuffed!

Goodnight Jim and...
We had a roast chicken, mashed potatoes and canned pees.

We got started on priming the replacement siding.

Morning all. Knocked the moth ***** off the boat over the weekend and did it's shake down run yesterday. Got a few hours of fishing in too! All is well, so good to go on the springer season. Nice day and felt good to get some river therapy. Mowing and bill paying on tap for the morning.

Good afternoon all. Just getting back from the VA. And, now we wait for test results. Between a very early start yesterday, contractors & deck demo’s then driving all evening to get to Alpha, then an early start at the VA this morning, I’m beat.

Crew got started on the south decks of the Bravo main house. As of yesterday evening, the upper & lower decks are gone. Pyramid blocks have all been removed and concrete footings have been poured. They still have 4 of those to pour, but had to let a couple others set up first.
