On Deck

For those who experienced the adventure of walking, sitting and eating on the old deck, the new deck is a welcome addition to the Compound. Instead of casually resting on top of a block of concrete with posts nailed together in an amateur fashion, the new deck is hurricane-ready and country-strong. Anchored in 42" of concrete with braces, brackets, joyces and screws of all sizes and alloys holding it together, we'll happily throw barbecues and invite parents with babies, the aged and infirm without fear of it doing an I-35-esque collapse because Carl added one too many sausages on the grill or Treavor set out one too many empty wine bottles.

Special thanks to Andy of A&M Remodeling and the carpenters extrodinaire Artur and Kamil.
