DECK

 

Whoa, my lower back is killing me. I so wish my masseuse hadn’t moved to Spokane because I’d do my darndest to get an appointment with her ASAP. I just wish I could find someone as good as she was. Anyway, I’m here letting my fingers dance over the keyboard while sitting up as straight as I possibly can to make my back feel better.

Why is her back so painful, I just know you’re wondering, so I’ll tell you, and you can help me celebrate because my lower back problem was rightfully and gainfully obtained. 

THE DECK IS FINISHED!!!!!!  Yes, finally, after months of work, the deck is completely renewed. In case you’ve forgotten, I had a new UV roof put on a portion of the deck in early spring. That, as so many projects do, led to additional projects, i.e., cleaning everything off the deck and pressure washing, followed by covering one section with two coats of sealant, then the second section; and finally, today, I applied one coat of clear waterproofing sealer to the wood beneath the roof.

I wish I could think of something nice I could do for myself…a massage would be divine…but at the moment, I cannot think of a food or drink that appeals as a reward. I am getting my nails done later this afternoon so I guess I’ll consider that my reward.

There was one other project I had to complete which was pressure wash and paint three boards on the north side of the house where I had a lean-to removed. That, too, is done. Now, if my garden were in its best shape, but it’s not, so onward tomorrow. At least gardening shouldn’t make my back too unhappy.
