Some more deck progress

Temp driving the 17ft truck.
Templeton and I had to rent a truck on Saturday to pick up our composite. 55 pieces, 16 feet long. The guys that worked in the yard first offered to deliver it for us, and that was a selling point to buy from Home Emporium-but then they called and said their trailer was broken, and we'd have to get it ourselves. Grrrrr...
So we rented a UHAUL, and picked up the composite. It took them at least a half and hour to figure out HOW to load it in the truck, an hour total getting it in there.
We came home, unloaded the truck with the help from the Werners. Then we got to work. We needed to start the framing. This part is crucial because you want everything level--everyone wants a level deck! Teamwork and determination got us this far, more in the coming week. It's really starting to look like a deck, and it's nice to really see how big it's going to be!

It feels good to see it taking shape. Framing next weekend then the decking after the inspection.
