A Couple Things This Weekend

Jenn and I took turns screwing down the decking on the back porch today. And, between the two of us, we got it all done! That was a nice milestone to reach. Now I just need to get the railing in place and I can call the whole thing done.

I also worked on the steps for the main stairs. I'm building each step out of 1"x10.5" white oak. This was slow going since I've got to join the wood, glue, and sand before I can put them into place. I managed to finish 4 steps, but have 17 more to do. Ugh. Better get cracking.
