Tyler's Fan Club
After work today I picked up Berkeley and Ryan (from Mark) and we drove over to watch Tyler's Baseball game.

After the game, the three of us dropped by Wendy's for some dinner. Ryan is spending the night with us at my Mom and Dad's house. Despite the fact that Berkeley and Ryan are sharing a bed... they went right to sleep. Good boys.

Home Renovation Project: Back Patio Deck: Deck Framing Complete
The deck framing is now complete. We made Baxton redo the deck walkway because the way he built it produced a small bump in the transition between the deck walkway and the main deck areas. If you look closely at the picture on the left (see below), you will note that the seam is now flush with the deck on both sides. Before today, the deck walkway was a little higher (by about ½")... the strategy Baxton had to rectify this was to smooth it out with mortar. But we ixnay'd that plan. The second picture illustrates the effect of the elevation change on the deck walkway corner drain... it was pushed down by about a half of an inch.

Baxton also framed the patio fireplace in today... see below:
