Rob and I wisely planned a deck work day for one of the hottest damn days in recent memory, so if my recollection of the work done is a little hazy, it’s because I was woozy from the heat.\u00c2\u00a0 It was something like 35C out on Saturday, not sure what it got up to with the humidity, but needless to say the heat was punishing.<\/p>\n

First step, off to spend some money by buying long wooden boards, sonotubes (not a new age musical instrument, as it turns out), cone footings, and the like.\u00c2\u00a0 We stopped for a coffee on the way home because it was so early and then both of us immediately stopped drinking them because it was already so frigging hot.<\/p>\n

Then, time to wreck the house and actually remove some siding.\u00c2\u00a0 This was a pretty big moral victory since the only change to date was to the dirt in the yard and my bank account.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Finally a tangible change to the house was visible.\u00c2\u00a0 Um, you can put that back together, right Rob?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Rob knew exactly what to do and with very little drama we had a ledger board installed.\u00c2\u00a0 Ok, there was one terrifying moment when we thought we would have to remove the board because it was just ever so slightly in danger of collapsing an entire deckful of future Vallentyne party goers, but then we figured it all out and life was good.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s what it looks like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, that’s a terrible, terrible job all done without any incident, and we didn’t even fall in the\u00c2\u00a0hole behind\u00c2\u00a0us, so that’s a miracle really.\u00c2\u00a0 That Heat Ledger* is one sexy damn board.\u00c2\u00a0 Hope the\u00c2\u00a0rest of the deck looks as good.<\/p>\n

*Too soon?<\/p>\n
