The rural life...

Things are different here. The sky is hazy today, I can't see my favorite mountain  from my deck.

Speaking of the deck, I am considering that I have some work to do on the deck before the rainy/snowy season is upon us. I need to take up the deck itself, tighten the base framework, and re-attach the planks after turning the weathered side down. This time I'll use deck screws to anchor the planks.

The mobile home here needs re-leveling. I'm going to replace the skirting too. I need to build a new read deck, as the termites have taken their toll on the support timbers.

I need to remove and re-set the base for the flag pole after it was hit by a truck turning around in the yard.  I got to do a lot of soaking before taking a shovel to dig down three feet around the concrete base.

I got a lot of things to do. boredom is not allowed, yet procrastination does sometimes rule.
