Last Saturday Damon got the decking for the porch but was unable to purchase the deck fastening system he wanted. So he went online, ordered it and paid extra shipping so it would arrive on Tuesday. He also paid the extra shipping because his wife was very upset at the thought of canceling another event at our house because of an unfinished house project. (No, I have not had my birthday party yet.)

The deck fastening system arrived Tuesday and I have to say that the UPS guy is awesome. We didn’t expect it to arrive until the evening, but it arrived in the morning when we were gone. And the UPS guy left the box on our porch. Which is funny because we didn’t have a porch on Tuesday. We had boards set up for framing and somehow the UPS guy put the box in the middle of the boards. It cracked me up.

Last night Damon worked for many hours in the cold. And this evening he is bundled up and working some more. Our friend Dave is helping and they have made some headway. Wanna see?

Yup, we have four boards down. I have no idea how many are left, but they are still working outside. They are bundled up and working. I think there will be a porch by Saturday.
