<i><b>Well the deck project took a new twist today...A neighbor came over and we went and got the deck blocks and spent the rest of the afternoon laying them out in a grid. Tomorrow the leveling starts and soon after if all goes well the deck will start to appear.... This is the biggest project I tackled...I&#39;m not a wood butcher by any means, but so far things are going well... The old deck is gone and some small repairs and painting have been done. I am enjoying the task although it&#39;s labor intensive and I am sometimes not up to the task, I blunder on and the results are good.<br /><br />Later<br />Jim</b></i>
