Patio fixin'

The roof of the back patio has needed repair for a while.  Whoever built the patio did not build it so the rainwater drained properly, so the low end of the rafters and deck rotted.  I removed all of the damaged stuff today and installed new rafters.  Been a while since I've done anything like that.  Pretty fun.  I'm gonna be sore tomorrow.  Still need to replace the deck and put a waterproof coating on the deck. 




End of the damaged plywood deck.  I kinda tore it up some more getting it off the roof.

Putting in the last new rafter.

Just after I moved the ladder I discovered that Debbie had been taking photos of me working.  She was inside the house taking photos through the door, which has a bunch of windows. 

New rafters installed and ready for new deck tomorrow.
Megan called and said her car was making a wierd noise.  Shawn discovered a loose spark plug and fixed it for her. 

OSU won their football game against Kansas State.  Nice weather.  Getting some work done around the house.  Ate a great sushi dinner with Debbie at Kyoto's.  Watching the World Series and hoping the Rangers win game 3.  Pretty good Saturday! 

Hope everyone else had a great Saturday, too!
