And so, I present for your enjoyment, a rather ambitious undertaking:

LIVE BLOGGING THE BUILDING OF OUR BACK YARD DECK, with photos AS WE GO because hardy har har ya right photos as we go!

Installment the first, Hi! It’s Sunday morning and as Dan collects whatever nonsense he thinks we might need in the building of a backyard deck, I decided to start blogging the entire affair because while I will be actually physically assisting in said building while also looking after two children (aged 6 and almost 4) and doing laundry (I do laundry on weekends and laundry waits for no man to build his damned deck), I also feel I can blog it, with photos.

I understand that some of you will not be returing for installment two because you just fell off your chairs from the fits of laughter (because as if I am going to live blog anything let alone photos) and have fallen dead from having banged your head on something hard. Which is your own damned fault. Who puts hard things so near the computer area? It’s anarchy.

photos 1: before anything happened.

Can you imagine the sadness of it all? That we have actually been living that way? On gravel? As though we were, whaddayoucallit, gravel livers? It’s really just pathetic.

Then things were delivered and put places and lo, Photo 2:

And haha, see. Photos!

Installment two: Leger board section one has been attached to house! Took two hours! We will be done in 2027! Hazzah!

Photo 3 in this fascinating series: this was taken by me from inside the house and was originally upside down. I flipped it in Photoshop. My talents run into the thousands. You have no idea.

Am now making pizzas for lunch and reminding self to take load of laundry out of wash and put into dryer so that it does not get that nasty must smell that absolutely no one likes. Well, except for nasty musty smell loving freaks. Are you one? I may have a load of laundry for you to enjoy in an hour after I have forgotten my own reminder.

Installment 3! Have sprained ankle! Fell and twisted same while climbing down ladder where back stairs used to be! Am in pain! Am about to enjoy Smirnoff Ice! After I go pee and hobble back out to yard! No photos this installment!

Installment four i think: Am drunk and injured and what would this day be if only i’d been sober and not injured but am not so injured that am not correcting spelling arros only am not making spelling errors from injury so much as drink and lo but have not likely spelled one word right despite efforts to do so. Am in hurry. Eating dinner at neighbours and have to provide tomatoes. Fuck spelling anyway.

No photo this installment! But am taking camer with so you know, who knows.

Oh all of ledger board is on. And as Tommy would have it: W00T!
