Well, it is definitely much nicer weather today and the humidity has dropped.\u00a0 There are no clouds at all so it will feel hot out.\u00a0 My goal is simple today.\u00a0 Get up the decking.. or at least most of it.\u00a0 The first thing to go was the picnic table.\u00a0 I had noticed it was rotting at the bottom of its legs.\u00a0 We’ve had it for over 10 years, so I’m not complaining.\u00a0 The easiest way to get it down is just to push it overboard!<\/p>\n

The picnic table took a spill!<\/p><\/div>\n

The decking removal was slow going.\u00a0 Definitely a lot harder to pull up than I imagined. Most of the nails were about half-way rusted through.\u00a0 Many nailheads broke off\u00a0 and many of the boards had 4 or even sometimes 6 nails at the joist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Almost half of the Decking removed.<\/p><\/div>\n

Vic felt a little better today and helped me pound out nails.\u00a0 He did pretty good for having to deal with such rusty nails.<\/p>\n

Based on the number of nails I am pulling out, I think I will need a lot of deck screws for the rebuild!\u00a0 Here’s a picture of the nails we are pulling out.\u00a0 Note:\u00a0 I’ve already dumped one nearly full box into the trash!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

More rusty and broken nails than you can count...<\/p><\/div>\n

I was able to get a few more boards of but wasn’t able to get them all off today.\u00a0 Luckily the joists seem to be in ok condition.\u00a0 I am planning on putting extra posts underneath and in the center of the deck to better stabilize it.<\/p>\n

More progress removing decking. The boards you see are the ones I was using to sit on while removing the others up near the brick area.<\/p><\/div>\n

Calling it quits for the day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
