Deck Work

This weekend we spent both days at Aunt Erin's house to help tear down the bad parts of her deck and build a nicer, bigger deck next to the house. Ollie was a very big helper!



They also fixed a couple boards in the fence. Ollie carried about 3 boards down to throw in Papa's truck. What a big helper.

Then it was Ollie's job to tear down all the latice surrounding the deck. He figured out how to use the back of the hammer to pull on it and he pulled it all down all by himself. In fact, the girls and Tyler went to Target and Home Depot and when we got back all the latice was off. Papa said when Ollie finished one side he went underneath the deck to look for more and pulled it off on the other side too. He did this for an hour and a half! Holy cow - that was a big job for a 3 year old!



Sunday we were back for more deck building fun. Ollie is hard at work again.




Lots of supervisors!





There's the momma! We are all eagerly awaiting Ivy - looks like she's almost ready!















Daddy was putting in a new outside electrical outlet and had to be under the new part of the deck.










It's going to be so nice when it is done!
