Handy tool to have while hiking.

Every fall Billy steals me away from the shop for some home improvement project. This year it's the deck, constructed in the early 80s.

The structure itself is still sound but the surface has gotten progressively worse over the years to where it's now downright hazardous. It wouldn't last another year. The stairs are nothing short of treacherous, flimsy and falling apart.

My first ever concrete form, the 18 bags that proceeded to kick my 5'0 115 lb. *** and my first poured and finished slab ...

We unscrewed the form yesterday morning and it turned out great!! Zeus approves!

Then we finished cutting and installing the new treads. Except for the cable railing, the new staircase, four feet west of the old one (to allow a wall later for closing in the carport) is DONE.

After two weeks of carrying and cutting 2x12x16s, digging post holes, mixing concrete and more screwing than I ever did as a youngster .... I feel like I went ten rounds with George Foreman! Even my soul hurts after this project.

We still have ten sheets of new 3/4" BCS plywood to put on top but we're both pretty proud of how it looks so far for a couple of metal workers.

Last night he tells me "You can go work in the shop tomorrow if you want."



****, I need to go back to work just so I can rest up!!

Good thing you got Billy, ‘cause in some parts of this great country, hefting, mixing, pouring, then finishing a concrete slab like that - well it’s almost a marriage proposal.

I told my wife there’s a woman on the forum that’s re-sheathing her deck and hefting and pouring concrete. She says bullsh*t, then looks here and tells me “don’t be getting any ideas”.

Leanna is a rare breed and what we all love from afar... I have my own version here at home. Billy and I are some lucky men..

Wife and me doing siding on the house we were building in Jan 1983. She on staging 16 ft up 20 ish degrees her butt froze to staging. She was able to get loose. Wind came up, we called it a day. We really had good weather that year. Working 3rd shift and days at house. Worked on house 10hrs on Sat after Fri night work slept 14 hrs straight woke up my eyes were glued shut. Had to pull on my lids to get them open.

Are those Schumacher try-y headers?

They are. Love them. Was going to buy a new set to go with the new paint, but they're no longer available as far as I can tell.
