Building a deck

So we started to build the deck on my parents house. Last week we put in the holes and set the posts. Saturday my uncle and cousins came over and we built the whole frame. It went pretty well except the wood isn't the straightest. So we've spent the last couple days laying the decking and it's going rediculously slow. Yesterday I think we put down 5 rows. But I do have to say it is some of the best Kovacs' craftmanship I've seen in a long time.

I've also come down with something, so the working at day and then building the deck at night is really taking it's toll on me. But we are in for like a week long rain, so I'll have a break to get better.

House is coming along nicely

The house is almost done. We spent the last 3 weeks putting down cement board, tile, and grout. 800 sq ft I think including the bathrooms. It was a lot of work and my knees and fingers killed afterwards. But it looks good. I'll have to get some pictures up.

Last night we had the holes drilled in the back for a deck. That will be this weekend's project. Setting the poles, building a frame, laying the decking and railing. Probably won't finish this weekend.

The appliances are in, the finish electric is done, I think really all that is left is carpet, finish plumbing and a shit load of moving. Should be in the house in 2 or 3 weeks.
