Repairing the Back Deck, Day 2

Day two of the back porch repair. We actually did a great deal of work, but I didn’t end up taking as many photos documenting the overall process.

Today, the kids got involved in the process. Here’s Liz, showing Paige and Audrey how to work the circular saw… and how to cut down some of the debris we were getting rid of (we were throwing the old boards from the second floor, down to the backyard).

Our goal: trim the old deck boards so that they would be 8′ or less. Our eventual plan was to throw out all the material using a Bagster bag.

Good progress with fresh boards.

A small pile of debris.

New boards, alongside where the old boards were getting processed/trimmed.
