Another long day. Twelve hours in fact. Cold again in the morning, but I like that because the ground is frozen solid. Once it warms up everything turns into a muddy mess. So I had to wear my mud boots again today, and by the end of the day my knee was really hurting. I started the morning by installing the last joists. Then I started carrying up and cutting the deck boards. I installed some before Kent arrived. He started the blocking and once Jacob arrived with the four wheeler they hauled up some deck boards to the saw while I went to the cottage for a late lunch. After I returned we cut and hauled and cut some more. All 140 boards. We then cleaned up and called it a night. Two of the headlamps had burned out so we weren’t very efficient.
