We were very grateful to Thomas and Jacob who came over and helped on Saturday. This was the 2nd time we NEEDED help! Probably the last time we'll actually
need it, but help is always appreciated. Especially when it lets me relax and do other things!
We got the supports and the deck frame in, as well as started putting in the joists. We have half of the joist hangers up, and one joist. But then it was time to quit, so we did!

| Leveling the frame. |

|
 |
| Don't you love the ladder holding one side up? We did it this way so we could measure the needed heights of the supports. |
|
 |
| Securing to house. |
|
 |
| Securing posts. Notice the hanging "flags"? This is trying to prevent John from hitting his head, since he'd already done it 4 times. |
|
 |
| Yeah! It's strong! |
 |
| Oops! Forgot to cut this old support to size before we attached the joist! |
 |
| Finished for the day! Looking good! |
