Deck Project Is Coming Along Nicely...

                 The deck project is coming along nicely recently.  I know I have been trying to do both Megaforce and the deck and out with friends and busy with my family stuff going on. However, my dad relies on me and he cannot do this on his own so I am doing everything at once and I will address the collab after I know what Larry says to me later on. Went from pulling up the boards to cutting and clipping in and I can tell you guys it looks really good! I cannot wait to update you guys further. Now the picture on the left side is just about 4 or 5 days ago what was finished up with the deck and you can see some sitting on top of the other as those were boards loose. Things are progressing quite nicely and proud how far we have come along with this project. I know it's been a long few weeks but will be worth it in the end.

Now the other update from last week comes 2 days ago, my dad and I finished it to the end piece almost but we need to cut it in almost in half so this means my brother has to do another cut and he did a cut Saturday so one more cut then we put it in and it is done! Just have to work on the aesthetics, fixing the spindles or getting new ones, not sure exactly what the plan is for that, I think it will be just repaired, then some trim and repainting of the railing, also fixing the the gate at the front of the deck which is a bit broken as it is tight when it is closed but think that is readjusting the hinges as they may have gotten loose over the years but just minor details to finish afterwards then we get to enjoy all this hardwork as this was really a lot of work to get done on it. Anyways that is what is what with the project and when it's fully done I will do an update once and for all to let you guys know and see the final look of the deck. I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Sore Back From Working Hard On The Patio Outside!

              So you have probably noticed I haven't been as active on social media as I have been in the past weeks. Well I have been working hard on the patio with my dad and getting closer and close to finishing the project out on the side of the house by the deck. It is looking really good so far and getting stones in and the other day on Monday we managed to get 2 rows put in to have 3 rows completed. It looks really good and looks like an actual looks like a backyard patio so far but we are right now far from done.I am working on the project again since I dropped out of the Wednesday group as I was not being challenged enough, I got enough experience as a individual so this opens a bit more time and my dad cannot work hours on end on the stones as it is a heavy as heck! We are talking about 110 pounds a stone and you can times that by 52 stones, which equals 5720 pounds in total which is quite heavy as you can probably figure out. 

               With working really hard, my back has had it's share of soreness in the mornings but as I wake up and move around I feel great and I believe it is from the hard work I have put in each and everyday of the week but again it makes my body strong and the muscles I never used before are stronger then ever and my upper arm strength is extremely big and bulky and that is what I wanted to do is build up my upper core of my body as I hope to audition for Amazing Race with Justin Milner who use to be a part of my team from The Video Projects Team days and the first 2 and a half years with Chris B On The Web as well. Was also hoping to audition for Big Brother hence the weight loss and building my muscle strength for being on Reality TV. 

                One thing I am totally looking forward to finishing this project is sitting out there and reading my book or the news paper or just enjoying the nice weather out there on the patio, this project was worth all the hours and hard work that has been put in with my dad and my brother that had help us a bit with advice or bringing the stones out to the area where the patio is going to be. I am looking forward to the end of this project but enjoying the use of the patio once it it completed.
