A Packed Weekend

Just back from a packed long weekend taking in an extra Friday as the children had an inset day.
The long awaited deck wood arrived on the Friday. The North deck is almost complete. It would have been finished if it had not rained on Friday afternoon, but I used the time well clearing the bathroom and taking down an internal wall.

Rails, steps and netting and a bit of new planting including strawberries and thyme. The rails have little lights inside them for that magical look when it gets dark.

We had a nice run out in Waterhen to a pub for tea on the Saturday, however on the Sunday Waterhen had to be pulled up our slip to treat some woodworm in her bow. On investigation it look like it is just on the outside and may be quite old as there was no fresh sawdust. I sent Alex in for a look. He is just the right size :-)

Anyway, all treated and back in the water now.

Here is a view of the North side taken from Waterhen as we headed out. It was too dark for a photo on the way back. Ooops!


The South side of the property is now cleared ready for the next deck to be laid.
