The new deck – May 24

So, we are working on a deck my friends, OH YES.

Posting pics as we go, we are currently at the phase I like to call “hole digging hell!”
We have an innovative way to dig holes in which to put these Sono tubes that you then fill with concrete (don’t ask me, I am the grunt-work on this project). The holes have to be two feet deep to go past the frostline (so the deck’s foundations don’t wiggle during the winter).

We are loosening up the dirt with my cool new twisty tool (no idea what it is called.. The Claw maybe?) and then sucking up the loose dirt using our Shop Vac. It doesn’t seem like it would work but it really does!
