The first of many coffees.....

Well I was watering trees slowly overnight, so I decided to get up early and move the hose to a different area. So I made myself some coffee and headed over to the site earlier than usual. I arrived before any workers. There were no bears or deer in the yard. My neighbours were out tending gardens in their yards.

I moved a piece of plywood to sit on and I enjoyed my first coffee of many to come on the back deck!

The drywall guy came by again today and below you can also see the decking that arrived a little later piled in the driveway.

And then I went back to the cottage by the sea to clean up a bit..... Company was coming!

Later when I dropped back to visit... The deck was complete albeit without stairs or a ramp.

I have think about what I want. Yes there will have to be railings as well. I have to think because the initial plan was for the back door to be ground level, so I could enter my house without any stairs. For various reasons it is not. That is okay, I just have to think out the path or paths to the ground.

I talked with my contractor and the rockwall will not start until next week.  Drywall should be finished next week and the window trim can get done, then the floors. Ah the promises of next week.
