Finally cool enough at some point in the day we were able to finish the deck top. |

All rails & banister removed. |

Of course, work continued on the grill. |
Making an addition for seating around the counter. |
Stone going on the grill and counter. Bricks went on one at a time. Each evening Jim could put about 22 on. Yep, took a while. |

Projects
This is what the deck looked like at the end of last summer. |
First project of the spring. Prototype for bench/planter combination for finish up east side of deck. |
The beginning of the kitchen |
Don't know if Jim is tired yet, but Ellie and Daisy are exhausted! |
Grill insert is ordered, veneer in the shop, lots more projects to share! And lots more work to do!

Something You Don't See Everyday!
Been catching a little grief lately (Becky) on the fact that neither my kitchen blog or Jim's workshop blog have been updated, so I thought this would make a good update.
In my almost 42 years of being part of the McClelland family, this is something I have never seen - Stanley fishing!
At one point he was 6/8 and was catching them faster than I could get them to the bucket. Perfect day for fishing, on March 18th? Who would have thought that would happen.
This was Stanley's hot spot.
A bucket full of fish.
Caught 29 total, but only kept 28. |
Caught 29 fish in an hour, took longer than that to clean them.
Check out Robyn's Kitchen blog (robynandjim.blogspot.com) to see what happened next.
(hmm..I wonder what?)
