Sunday morning I woke by 05.00 due to my unfit body objecting.
Down in the garden by 07.00 I started to prepare for the step off the deck that I had decided to extend by 150mm
Some bags of sharp sand and pavers brought around from behind the garage and put on standby.
Dug a shallow strip down into which to lay the pavers.
Unfit......
This strip of slabs allows the front legs of the bottom step that takes a load of heavy traffic to sit on a solid, dry base.
In the mean time, Mickey came around to have a nose around at what I was doing, checking up on Kevin who had advised that I change the lay of the triangulated section deck boards.
Getting on with it.
The redesign meant more legs, a noggin and strengthening so that I can continue to ride my 1200 GS on there when needed.
Being the clever old stick he is, Kevin created depth spacers, and we pre-screwed all the riser supports, got the levels right and then fixed them in.
Started to put the supports for the stair risers in as well, screwing them into the sides of the deck support legs, of course as per usual Catscan inspection and investigation carried on, despite the rain and miserable weather.
All in place
Next step would be to do the final deck board next to the house.
But a cuppa and some biccies that Sally made, first.
