Decking

Building a deck should be fun. It's fun because it's relatively simple and the material is wood (wood is easier to work with than steel). My deck project is different than most because I'm doing it by myself with only two hands.

Building a deck by yourself is perhaps one of the worst ideas you could possibly dream up. There is great opportunity for efficiency with multiple workers on board. I'm running an efficient system, however it pales in comparison to the output I could have with just one additional set of hands.

Dammit.

It was 107 on the deck while I worked last Saturday. I'm considering wearing a headlamp and working a night shift.

I'm looking forward to the completion of my cabin in summer 2015.

My wife came home last night feeling light-headed, dizzy and ill.  That's a common symptom when you're pregnant and the bay area apple junkies are too fucking absorbed in facebook (or pretending to be) to give up their BART seat for you.  It just makes my blood absolutely boil, rarely a thing takes me to edge of violence like the lack of chivalry in humans today.

Luckily last night was Monday, so despite the long work week ahead Erin was excited to watch her show, The Bachelorette.
