Building a Deck in Spite of Winter

Here I am, sitting in Cabin 7 looking at huge snow flakes falling from the sky... On April 29th. We think Winter should have ended some time ago. We have lots to get ready for the summer and this snow bit is somewhat distracting.

Victor has chosen this morning to head off to Menards to buy the railing wood for the decks. That will keep him out of this nasty weather for a little while at least. Then he will come back and work in the snow, or rain by that time. He's a trooper! Below are a few progression photos of the deck process. (in reverse order!)

This deck is on Cabin 6 and still needs the rails, a step on each end and a door where the window on the porch is now. Then, we let the wood age for a season or two and we can paint it to match the rest of the cabin. It's looking good for certain. Hopefully this big huge deck will inspire rentals. Cabin 6 has a few week long openings for this coming summer.
