The goal is to have the deck done by Thanksgiving. Up until yesterday, we hadn’t had rain for months! I read last week that San Francisco was experiencing the driest year in 167 years…since they started keeping records of annual rainfall. Well, we’re now making up for it! I was able to spend a few hours yesterday, until it started raining so hard that I didn’t feel comfortable using the Skilsaw out there. Then, this morning I got three hours in before it started pouring. The forecast was “a chance of showers”! I have a 6′ x 20′ section left before I’m done with the decking. Then, the railing posts can go in. It’s looking good and the garden is loving this rain, I’m sure! According to the forecast, it’s supposed to start letting up around 2, and then we’re done for a while.
