Deck Update

Today's weather:

Our deck project has been put on hold because our builders have left town, to return January 3.  They are setting up an O gauge train display at Roger's daughter's house in Whittier, California, for Christmas.  I guess it's a big project.  I think he said it's 10 feet by 16 feet.  He used to set it up here every Christmas, but we were never here to see it.

Anyway, here's what the deck looks like now.  We are able to use it, but obviously it has a way to go.

We've put all our deck furniture on it to see if it fits, and it does.   We've also strung a rope around the front end, just as a reminder of how close the edge is.  We're really pleased with the size.  There's plenty of room for our two chairs and a small table in front, and a large dining table and four chairs at the other end.

Roger and Jeanne have promised to have it finished by the time we return in January.  We'll see.  They've been pretty consistent at underestimating the time things will take.  But they are doing a great job.  It's very sturdy.

We've finally had a Broad-billed Hummingbird at our feeder!  I'm trying to get a photo of him, but so far he's been elusive.
