The deck building continues

So the project for this weekend was to cement in the 'stirrups' as they are called - all 26 of them. The bearers are then bolted or maybe screwed, not sure, into each of these...anyway our friends Warwick and John stayed with us for the weekend and John was pressed into service helping Steve do half of these on Saturday while we did the rest today.
We had about an inch of rain this week so that made the site rather muddy and a tad dirty to work in. You might also notice that part of the pond wall has given in - this is not good.
And that's what things look like now, Sunday evening. We moved the two fox-tailed palms that were growing at the top right of the pic as well...hopefully they will survive the transplant. Next week hopefully will see the bearers in place.
