Things are progressing slowly but given the weather and honey-do list I guess it's not going too bad. Got the deck boards screwed on and the gate built - still have to straighten up a couple of places that aren't level and come up with a way to stop the gate from going too far over. With my wife's help we got the old track disassembled and now can clean the rail a little before straightening or bending it as required and reinstalling the tie strips. I've pretty much decided to go with rail clamps which means the track will not be fastened down to the deck but allowed to come and go as the thermal expansion dictates but will have to come up with occasional restraints to keep it in the general area that it should be. Hopefully in the next week or so I should have some of the track laid and be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
