Surprised

We decided to drive down to Zelda to work even though it was a short weekend.  As we arrived around 12:30 am Saturday morning, we were surprised, as the Workman family had completed the deck to the back entrance.  It looks great and what a surprise as we had no idea that they would work on it during the week.  Lynn was able to change plans and apply a sealant on the deck Saturday and we are glad, because the rain came to Kings Mountain on Sunday.  Brent installed the toilet and the pedestal sink in the upstairs hall bathroom and Lynn also stained the edge around the living hearth to match the mantel.

We really like the large opening.

The supports are on concrete footings.

The sealant does tint the wood to a honey color.

The finished product.

Lynn finished just in time as the rain arrived Sunday morning.
