Solid Ground once Again

Thanksgiving was like Christmas this year. I got a great gift. There were enough people home, with enough energy, and good weather for us to repair the deck. This deck has had very little care and attention over the years. Lately, it felt like I was tempting fate to stroll across it casually. I kept a sharp eye out for weak spots and holes. And for someone larger than myself...well, it was a small miracle we weren't having to rescue someone from the darkness below (which could be a very scarey place). Not only were boards removed and replaced and joists reinforced, but the ramp was levelled and given not only a handrail but a new walking surface which is much more grippy than the previous slimey-when-wet boards. Needless to say, I go dancing out there every opportunity I get. Thanks to all involved. To the rest of you - come try it out. I'll put the music on.
