We had to re stack the hoard of timber under the deck, with the fact that we have sealed the under floor area. That took some time. Then we started fitting the deck boards, keeping our fingers crossed that we will have enough. One was mistakenly cut 5 mm short. Well, we just made it! The last of the boards was curved like a banana. We managed to fit the whole deck, using the last one cut straight, and requiring only 70 mm of it. We had slight rain through the day Saturday, and that delayed work somewhat. Not all of the nails are in yet, and we haven'trounded the outer edge. That will be for tomorrow. It looks a bit funny with the platform for the ramp sticking out, but the ramp will follow in due time. (That is for one day when we get old!)
We had some fibre board which Elna have painted in advance. That was fitted at is looking real good.
We have been looking at finishes, and it seems we will be using a water based deck sealer. We have tried oil on some samples, but we tend to get water spots on them.
The veranda posts are not done yet, we want to get all of the decks done before we start on that.
