My lazy Saturday included an hour of TKD practice this morning
(No AC and we were in pads most of the time) Followed by a visit to the Amazon company picnic, which basically means hike around this huge field for a couple hours in the sun. Followed by several hours of deck tear down. I'm not feeling very rested.
But the deck tear down was fun tonight, the stairs are GONE! I braced them with an extra 4×4 and then proceeded to remove all nails/screws/supports holding them up. Since I couldn't figure out any other way, I tied a rope to the 4×4 and 'yanked' it free from around the corner of the house.
The first time NOTHING happen. (Insert favorite 'wile e coyote' reference) It had dropped about an inch and was wedged against beams for the small landing. So I put the 4×4 back and took the skill saw to the beams. This time when the 4×4 was yanked out, the whole mess came crashing down. Wished I could have video'd it…..
