The weather hasn't been cooperating with heavy rains, a little snow, an EF2 tornado within 5 miles, more rain and finally high winds doing it's best to slow things down (and a fine job of it) but have made some progress. The basic framework is up and lightly painted to lose the raw wood look and a little start on the landscaping. Other than being dogsbody to the head groundskeeper I'll be starting to install the 200 pieces of 16" long composite deck board on top of the beams - ought to take a while! Hopefully when my son comes on Saturday I'll be ready to start reclaiming the rail and tie strips that were salvaged from the old railroad - won't know until then how much additional I'll have to get ordered.
