I've been rebuilding my deck. Well, downsizing it and improving it. Have been going at it since April, demolishing half of it (was way too big) and reducing it to a 16'x16' deck vs the former 16'x16x x 14'x 12' behemoth it was before. I demo'd the side deck and removed it, have shoveled 10+ tons of earth back and forth, built two retaining walls to control the sloping ground (the people who built the deck I inherited when I bought the home literally built it INTO the earth - morons). Putting up a Trex deck with wire railings. May be complete by football season.
I've been bitten by mosquitoes, ticks, and maybe spiders through it all.
Still no vax shots, still breathing, surprisingly.
