Howdy-do, ya bunch of hoonigans !

I've been picking away a little bit each evening at the stairs, the landing is done. It took almost all of the yard of #72 crush to fill the pit, I had about 2 wheelbarrows left in the trailer which got deposited under the deck.



I got the rim joist off of the stair side last night, which exposed more issues with shoddy framing. I'm at the point of where I should just get it down to the bare framing and start from there.



The rim joists are dry rotted pretty badly, the stair side was worse because of all of the extra loads on it from the improperly mounted and supported stairs.

I'm taking a weekend trip to Williamsburg tomorrow afternoon, Saturday is Bush Gardens then the living museum at historic Williamsburg then a trip to Jamestown before heading back. We need a little break, we're still both heart broken over Clarence then I had a close Aunt pass away on Tuesday. They're in Palm Springs, no memorial service so I guess that everyone deals with it on their own.

This is funny to the others that have let cats into their lives.
