We're really thrilled with it, of course, helps that the old one looked pretty bad by comparison. And I don't miss the lichen forests. And the squirrels are already using it as their elevated highway. We're the envy of the neighborhood, for a little while.
This beautiful cedar will eventually weather to grey, or could be stained with a transparent color. Or clear. Or not. The decisions don’t need to made until next spring. We'll consult with our son-in-law, the expert painter.
Yesterday I was chatting with one of sub-contractors, and he was interested in helping us rebuild the old deck as a weekend project. So another good thing from this job. Unfortunately, no chance at all to communicate with the hard working Ukrainians, although I brought them donuts from Safeway, the universal language of friendship.
You probably noticed those crystal blue skies in all the pictures this week. We’re having one of the nicest stretches of Seattle summer weather I can remember.
Ho-hum, day after day with high temps in the comfortable mid-70's. It hasn't rained in about a month. The rest of the country is either being baked alive or flooded. As usual, our Northwest weather acts completely contrary-- perfect here when it's miserable other places, and then vice versa when our turn rolls around.
