After 7 years of putting up with a splintery, warped, faded, unsightly deck, the decision was made to use our income tax return and "President Bush's Money," to replace the deck. We have chosen, with Curtis' help (who works at Lowe's--which we appreciate) Choice Deck, which is like Trex. Carl and Same unscrewed screws until their arms ached. Sam's help was MUCH appreciated. Pat and the grandsons hauled the wood off and stacked it up neatly. We've had two neighbors want some of the wood, and of course Carl's response was "Every board you take is one less I have to haul off, so please help yourself!" We haven't started putting the Choice Deck on yet, but here is where we are currently.
Twin drills--Carl wanted one "just like Sam's."
Sam giving Carson a power tool lesson
Almost done removing the old boards. A few minutes later Parker fell though as he was balancing on the cross beams giving himself a lovely wound on his cheek.

Can't wait to see the finished product! We have a roof for a deck but so far no deck...!!! A few projects down the road.
I love the picture of Dad and Sam with their matching drills.
Hopefully you'll see lots of progrss on the deck this week!
I love that sam takes the time to teach carson (and parker) to do things -I don't remember any of my brothers working along side of our dad- carl makes an awesome dad for sam- thanks!! we love you even more for that!!
