I thought I'd better post some pictures before I passed out from deck stain inhalation...
 |
| All I see when I look at the deck right now is the 50 trillion pickets, 10 billion rails and the 2 million posts that make up the railings on the deck and arbor. Seriously, If I had realized how much work would go into staining these puppies I'm not sure I would have wanted to even start the project. |

| ...pickets, pickets, pickets... |
 |
| I would like to add a final THANK YOU!!! to all the people who helped put this project together: |
|
Mike Carr (and his crew) for the cement work
Delvin Tapasoa (and crew) for framing the deck
Cory for flying out here from South Carolina and working so hard
Stephanie for letting Cory fly here...
Nathan, Andrew and Danny for giving up some of their summer vacations to help out
Kelly, Tia, Suzanne & Keira for last minute (pre-wedding) heroic help (again...giving up vacation)
and last, but not least-ish in the least...
Steve - for spending every minute he could spare this summer (and more money than we would have liked to spare) on getting this project started AND finished (ish).

You betcha!
Hey! I fed them at one point or another. Without food they all would have collapsed and then it would have been a wake and not a wedding. Just sayin'.
Just messing with you in your moment of relief.
That deck/arbor looks amazing.
Sherri - you deserve your thanks in person...how about next month in Portland?
I suppose I was just stage propery, but I'm used to being thought of as merely decorative (it's a curse).
Glad to see it done and looking so spectacular!
No one who came to the wedding was 'purely decorative' (with the possible exception of the wedding couple - whose job was to be 'decorative')...Your job as cake decorator and auntie was crucial.
