I had today off. So after working on next week's flight schedule for 9 hours, I was able to work on the deck for about 45 minutes before the sun went down. Let me back up. I have been, on my off days and if I get back early enough from missions, working to build a deck beside my CHU. I probably didn't take enough pictures during the process, but I did manage to snap a few.
First thing I had to do was build the bottom floor (duh!). When it starts raining in the winter, the less dirt (then mud) you have to walk on/thru, the better. Here are the in progress photos of the walkways.

And here is some of the wood I "procured". Had to unload it by hand.

And here are a couple of shots of the uprights, which will support the second floor.

And some more 2x12 support beams. Once this framework is done, I will use 2x6 boards as the flooring, just like the lower floor walkways.
And lastly, here I am with most of the 2nd floor complete. I'll try to get some pics from up there for the next blog. I am making appointments for some deck building work on the side for when I get home!
