The work crew arrived right on schedule. And they were quite eager to get the deck built...we promised them an outstanding dinner!!!
Together, everyone got busy hammering and drilling and making the piles of lumber into something that resembled a deck. While the process was underway, Katie and I removed all the rotten (yes rotten, as in mice infested) insulation from under the house. Katie is certainly a trooper. She was like the EverReady Bunny! All that's left under there is a little vacuuming and removing some timbers and cinder blocks.
Carlo, Jackie, Tom, Rick, Katie, me were busy building the deck.
Alex supervised and took a Cheerio break!
When we were finished and showered, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner - just as promised! Rick and Katie decided to sleep outside in a tent - but they set it up on top of the deck. Carlo lit the tiki torches and the newlyweds enjoyed "The Tiki Hut" for the night!
P.S. Thanks Rick and Katie for the shadow figures! They kept us laughing for a long time!
P.S.S. Rick, did you take any Benadryl??????
