Deck Building #4: Sunday

Hmmm I still haven't got the hang of posting pics in the right order so we are kinda going backwards here. So by about 5.00pm we had reached the stage of nailing the decking timber on to the joists. Here I am drilling the holes for the nails first, which makes for a much more pleasurable nailing experience for all concerned.

All the joists have now been nailed in and we've carted down some of the decking timber and placed it on the joists.

OK, so today, like yesterday was abit showery. And the red clayey soil was more clay than soil. And I'm hot. And it's humid. And my clothes are detriorating with all this outside work!

A pic across the deck. By the end of the week all the decking timber will be nailed on and hopefully, depending on the weather, it will be painted. Whethere we've managed to work out how to lug the very weighty spa on to the deck by that stage is another story...
