Breaking ground on the deck

We have finally started the deck. It has been planned for years. This is one of those things I have been planning on doing since I was a kid. We finally have our own house that we can add on junk as we see fit.

This is the morning of the first digging day.














We got a lot more done than I though we would.

Val was a champ with the post hole digger. She will have shoulders of steel when this is all done.

By the end of the day we had four post set in concrete for the upper part of the deck. All the holes were dug for the fence posts.

Tomorrow we will hopefully get the rest of the holes dug and everything set in concrete.
