Deck Building Day One

Dave's parents arrived early yesterday afternoon, and Dave and his dad promptly headed to Home Depot to purchase the materials for the deck. Home Depot was supposed to deliver the supplies this afternoon, so Dave and his dad started working on the new play set this morning right after breakfast. Dave's mom and I put the kids in the stroller and went for a walk in the neighborhood. We got a few blocks from home and saw a lost looking Home Depot truck with all our stuff. We gave the driver directions, and by the time we got home from our walk, he had everything unloaded and was leaving our house. Yay! So they got a good start on the deck today and worked steadily all day. Here are some pictures.

Pulling the stairs off the house

Moving the stairs out of the way

The pile of wood

Dave moving the pile of wood to the backyard

Taking a break

Using the circular saw

Dave still moving wood

You can see the beginnings of the play set in the background

Almost done moving all the wood

Oma and Caleb hanging out outside

The kiddos sitting in Daddy's chair

Dave finally gets to do something else

Oma gets in on the action

Almost finished for the day
