Biting the bullet!

Our front veranda has been getting more and more rickety over the years. The other week I put my foot through a rotten decking plank....so....we decided it was really time to do something.
We went to Mitre 10 in Monbulk and got some wood. So far we have renewed the joists and bearers that were rotten, and managed to leave the good ones. Now it is a question of the decking going down.
  Note;...We do not hurry anything now, so we shall do this last stage as and when we feel able.
The photos were taken with my phone.....just a quick dash outside, and a few quick snaps......not exactly Tony Armstrong Jones!!

We had a very interested spectator. A Kookaburra flew down, and stayed for a while. Then came back for the next few days. No doubt astounded by the workmanship!!
