Hi guys.

I wanted to answer Griff's question with a couple pictures and realized I am way, way behind in my workflow maintaining the continuity of the pictures. So no pictures, sorry.

The answer is that I have all the deck boards installed and about two out of three sides trimmed, one side out of three still wild. I started on the wrong side, wound up realizing I'd be sawing backwards to progress, stopped, moved to the other side of the deck and began again now each cut leads forward to the other. Basically I'm sawing around the perimeter of the deck in a counterclockwise fashion. Before I would saw right to left, then resetup the guide board behind me... ugh. Wrong!

Ran out of daylight, Twil said she was ready for dinner and I leapt at the chance to call it a night.

There will be pics, there *are* pics, but I'm still downloading them from the cloud to the computer for editing and organization and resizing, etc. etc. And captioning. There is a story here, and I want to tell it.
