Earlier this summer I mentioned I'd keep you posted regarding the little project of finishing the facia on the cabin's wrap-around deck. Well, I finally finished it the day before yesterday. No big deal, but like the food network does with tomatoes and cabbage, the key with deck work is to make cutting and fastening a few boards seem a lot more involved than it really is. That's what I tried to do here.
Although the other 3 sides were trimmed in 1"x12" cedar, I decided to save some money and use cedar fence slats to finish off the east side. Not only was it about 1/3 the cost of the same material used from 1"x12"x10' kiln dried dimensional lumber, I thought it actually looked a little better. Dang it: I wish I'd a thought of that a long time ago!
The barn project is coming along slowly but very nicely if I don't say so myself. Klietus came out the other day and helped while I was recovering from a danged Ol' hernia operation (the kind that involves your lower abdominal wall-not your nether regions). Dang it: am I going to get in trouble for sharing my personal health information? I can't remember if it's just other folks medical info we're not supposed to share, or also our own. I better check with the current administration to see if I'm breaking some of the many health and communication laws we seem to be accumulating here in the good O' US of A. I'm probably breaking one law or another....dang it!
I'll keep you posted on the barn and whether of not I hear from one of the health czars about posting the hernia info. If I was Jeff Boomhauer from King of the Hill, I'd be saying something like, "Danged O mmhabjib dinkity O midgflabbery dang-o bamanoid!"
