Ben, with the help of several neighbors & the always generous Mark Ott, is working on an extension for our deck. 
Under discussion for weeks this project, as the best ones do, happened without our planning around the earth and sun to make the time. A few weeks ago a neighbor rented a post hole digger (for his fence building) and kindly brought it over to dig to two new post holes needed for our project. Wednesday we made the first (of several) Home Depot trips for materials. At one point, 90% of the new deck was loaded in the back of my smallish SUV. I so wish I had taken a picture. Yesterday, the joists and decking went in, today will hopefully see the new railing installed. Power washing and staining/sealing will be another weekend! Saturday I hope to have the neighbors over for a cook out on the new deck 🙂
Go Ben!!! And Thank you Lord for good neighbors!
