The Deck

May brought about the great deck challenge, this has been planned for some time with reinforcements being flown in from SA & NT for the May long weekend.

Unfortunately it was not a long weekend in QLD anymore, ah well a day off instead.

Here are the motley crew of workers

Work began at a frantic pace with joists being installed by the minute

As usual someone decided to mention that the Wet season may have passed us by. Well that was a little silly because in true Tully fashion it rained, and rained and then it rained some more.

Then it was onto the deck so many different lengths to choose from, lucky we sent for the experts, just look at that brains trust, pointing at bits of timber.

It all went together really well, apart from those screws you don’t need to pre-drill or countersink. (they will tell you anything to get a sale these days).

 

We had a great set up with all of us, drilling, countersinking, fit screws.

 

We could have got it all finished, but someone calculated the material wrong and we were 2 rows short. Anyway we all had a great time that weekend and nearly finished the deck great job done by all.
