Okay… so, I just realized that even though this is the post for “front deck: day 3”, it’s really only the second day given “day 1” had zero activity.

No big.

Today the workers showed up at 7:30 am, on the nose, to get started early. The workers had to wear gloves so their hands didn’t freeze. Eeesh! Goodbye warm days.

When they first started we had no deck and the roof was being held up by angled supports. By the time we headed out, a little after lunch, the workers had almost completed the framing…

We were gone for a few hours for a bit of birthday fun (our Lucas turned 7 today 🙂 ) and came back just as the workers were driving away. They were nice enough to stop and get out to talk us through everything they had done (A LOT!) and what they had left to do.

The original stairs were treacherously steep (94 year old house) so, the new ones have to be set back an additional 14″ to meet code. That’s no big, but the gentlemen working our deck need to do a bit of figuring for where the stairs meet the ground.

All-in-all a solid day.

The workers will back again first thing tomorrow morning. Very much looking forward the day’s progress. 🙂
