January 22...even more decking (and some lights!)

Still working on the decking! They got the rest of the deck laid, and started putting the posts in. Dave and Jason finished up almost all of the electric, but since Dave is gone for the next 13 days (boo) it will be awhile longer before they are 100% finished. The plumber forgot to do the 1/2 bath, and we need to build the pony wall for the penninsula before he can rough-in for the prep sink. Things are looking great, and we don't have any mud to deal with! I am getting ridiculously excited, because I feel like we are over the halfway point!!

And yes, that is Dave. And yes, he looks like the unibomber.

It's hard to tell what the deck looks like. It runs the length around the back of our house, but isn't very wide. It is a reddish brown color (composite called Ultra Deck) and will have white posts and a white railing. The trusses hang over it, and maybe someday we'll enclose part of it to make a screened-in porch. I haven't run that by Dave though....

Here is Dave showing me the canned lights that will be in the soffit. There will also be a ceiling fan out there, which will be awesome on warm days.

Unibomber Dave. This is the view towards the Master Bedroom. You can see the (unpainted) door and more posts.

And just for fun, here's the future semi-driver for Mason Sound.
