This weekend I was mostly.... - 26th May 2009 10:51pm
...in the garden...
Thought it would be a good idea to sand my old decking and retreat it. In the process lifting a few boards and fixing a joist that got broken during a party a few years back.
However, on lifting the boards we found the joists to be rotten, so that was it, the whole lot had to come up and get re-newed! All old posts where dug out, and I reset new ones in concrete, built the frame and finished the decking tonight...
Old decking stripped out... (Monday Morning)
Posts set in, and frame built up (Monday Afteroon)
Monday evening...
And finished this evening....
This is the most DIY Ive ever done without involving a car
....quite happy with the result
