The weekend started with me leaving work at 3pm on Friday – yay! One of the managers came around and basically told everyone to go home. So, mom and I went for a 10km walk with Koby on Friday afternoon, that was great! I then relaxed for the evening.
Saturday started bright and early with deck work. We tore down the old deck (which took a few hours) and mom and I took 3 trips to the landfill site to get rid of all the old deck material. We then bought the material for the new deck – who knew wood would be so expensive! I consider myself lucky though since all the labour was free ;) By the end of the day on Saturday, we had the old deck taken down and the frame for the new one up.
On Sunday, the new deck was finished by 3pm or so. It doesn’t have a railing or stairs yet, but we can use it now. I love it! It is the same size as the old one (12 ft x 15 ft), but this one is so much better since it is level and safe to be on (unlike the old one that was rotten and unsafe). Of course now that the deck is all nice and new, it is really noticeable that the roof above the deck needs to be re-painted ;) The garage needs to be re-painted too, so I think we’ll tackle those when we have a free weekend this summer.
Needless to say, CT and I were pretty tired and sore yesterday so we just took it easy and watched a couple movies. So nice to have an extra day off!
This week, we have our second meeting with the pastor on Thursday, so I hope that goes well. I guess that means we need to get going on choosing our readings! So many decisions…
