The truth is, I’m someone coming from a spoiled society – the worst thing we deal with in Canada is winter.

It is late evening as I type listening to violent thunder and pouring rains.

I had a productive day,well at least for me. I managed to work on the deck for a few hours. I got a few more boards in place.

As soon as I add lag bolts and braces I could be screwing down deck boards. I will need to run into the town to get some deck stain before that. I would like this deck to last a few years. Some of the boards I used have already been exposed to years of weather and are questionable at best.

This is a use what I have available project like so many others. I just pray it holds up over winter and the weight of the snow which will arrive soon.

I felt the cold this morning and with the leaves changing, winter is not far away.

Evening storms roll in loud and wet

Hard to see the leaves have started to change
