As we are looking at the pouch, we need to pull this trap off and see what is needed. Don put this on a while back to try to protect the things under here. There is some rotted wood and needs to be replaced.
Okay now we can see what is needed. We started out pulling a couple of the stairs.
As we keep looking on the stairs, let us replace all of the them. The reason is why, down the road they will be needed to be replaced.
Meanwhile Don's neighbor is having a tree cut down and cleaned up.
Well there is two guys doing this job. Crazy. this is a BIG TREE, TALL TOO.
They through a couple of ropes around the top limbs and hooked them to the Bobcat/
So the guy started cutting and the bobcat was pulling on the top of the tree. The after the last cut the tree came crashing down.
Wow I was really surprised how well it went. I am thinking the worst. But is came down pretty straight no damage that we could see. Oh Don's tree on the side here lost a large limb and Don went over and talked with the guy. He told Don that he will trim his tree and make is look okay.
Her is when Don went over to talk with the guy.
After the tree came down more guys showed up and started cutting and trimming that tree.
After looking the porch over and over again. We decided to go to Home depot. Okay here at this Home Depot the cost is $43.??. Don didn't like how the lumber looked, This is 3/4" pressure treated plywood.
So we drove over to another Hoe Depot.
We noticed the price was $47+ at this Home depot, So Don need to get some to check on this. Which he found one of the assistant manger. She will make is right for us, at the cashier.
Well we need to have these boards cut, this way the cuts will be straight. So two sheets were cut 11.7/8" by the 8' I think this guy's name is Ben. He was pretty quiet and did a good job. We helped him unload and then load the lumber on the cart.
As we stand in line to pay for the things we need. I saw this sign. WHAT $.05 for each bag used.
Don explained that in Maryland, has banded on plastic bags.
Well as we need to stop at different stores, The law is in place. Oh I goofed at a store called Gaint. We bought a couple of items and I put the items in a plastic bag, not thinking. Don had to pay $.05 on that bag.
You can see we pulled all the stairs off.
Now my buddy, Don painted the tops of the boards that hold the stairs in place.
So mean while we got the stairs ready for the next days work.
Okay my first day here we got a lot done.
I did loose track of time. We started around 11am and didn't end until 6 plus o'clock.
I look at this job and say praise Him, we have a idea on how this is going to get done.
So my prayers are to keep us safe and make is look good too.
