This deck we are having built is taking forever. There are so many different parts!
One thing is painting the new deck cover. It's about 3 stories up. We kept trying to hire it out but nobody could do it.
So, we ended up getting stuck with that task.
It was a much bigger job than we expected! I thought it would take us a couple of hours, but instead it took us about 6. And it was so high! Both Ben and I were praying that nobody would die. Thankfully, nobody did.
The girls were great helpers. Audra held the ladder- which was hot and exhausting- Claire did a lot of the painting of the lower parts, and Camille kept handing Ben the different brushes and rollers that he needed. I was running around making sure that there was enough paint and that everyone had everything they needed.
It looks great! It is nice to work together to accomplish hard things. They don't know it yet, but I ordered a paddleboard for everyone's hard work so that we can have lots of fun at Bear Lake next week. It arrives on Monday as a surprise for the family's hard work.
