Hit the Deck

We finished the end of the first deck this weekend, and I can't say as I miss working on it yet. The end of the deck gets difficult as you run out of beam to use the bowrench on, and so you have to make sure you have chose good straqight boards that magically fit right with the boards you have. Saturday we finished up to where the last two end boards fit, then Sunday morning we finished up the last boards.

Once the deck was finished, we started cutting the boards for the first bent. 15 individual pieces go into each bent and nine of them have 45 degree angles on one or both ends. It took us a while to cut them all, and by time we finished it was getting late, so we wrapped it up and we will fit the first bent together later in the week.
