Deck Update

I just finished writing a detailed and quite hilarious description of my present deck building activities, then when I hit publish.......... it all disappeared. dammit!
Anyways, the short version is as follows. I'm finally building it, and everythings going smooth. I'm taking my time and doing it right, so everything is perfectly straight, level and sturdy as hell. This weekend I plan on workin my butt off to get it that much closer to deckness.
When I'm done, you'll all have to come sit on it and drink beer.
