Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is Sunday. The mosquitos are starting to arrive. For me, that means for a while outside work gets done in the hot sun or during the wind. The biggest task is to get my rear deck covered and finished.<\/p>\n

All I have to do is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cut rafters to final configuration on table saw. After I find and learn how to use the taper jig I bought two years ago.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Put up boards on the trailer side for rafters.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Cut old tin away with hand shears<\/li>\n
  4. screw rafters to support beam<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0cut strips to hold down plastic clear tarp. after finding wood for that. I needed 100 feet of strips.<\/li>\n
  6. stretch out clear tarp cover the center of the deck<\/li>\n
  7. Put up all the strips and pray for no wind and hot day (mosquitoes)<\/li>\n
  8. finish angles on deck. find boards to cover decking on angles. Plane\u00a0 (hope the new-gen will run the plane) then cut on table saw if required.<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0This should be one. clean shop enough to cut and process all the wood I need.<\/li>\n
  10. Moove two extremely heavy windows to the rear of the house.<\/li>\n
  11. Frame windows into deck. Carefully cut traps around windows so I don’t lose the view<\/li>\n
  12. find a way to screen in the angles and add a door<\/li>\n
  13. Move my old dump find rocker out there with end table have a coffee.<\/li>\n
  14. Move all my plants out there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
