Finally assembled the deck without burning dinner

Jan 15·1 min read

Got about 80% of the composite deck done this weekend while the kids played in the backyard. Only had to run inside twice to make sure nothing was on fire. The grill stayed on low heat the whole time and honestly it worked out perfectly—grilled some burgers for lunch while I was working. My back is KILLING me but man it feels good to actually make progress on something. Now I just gotta stain it before fall.

The fact that you managed to keep dinner from burning while doing deck work is the real MVP moment here. Multitasking at its finest.

Watching the kids play independently while you work is such a good feeling. Everyone wins in that scenario.

Composite deck is such a solid choice. Low maintenance and lasts forever compared to wood. You picking a specific color or going with something neutral?

This is the dream right here. Productive weekend, family happy, and nobody goes hungry. Well done getting it mostly done in one go.

80% done is huge though. That's a full day's work right there. How many more sessions you thinking before it's totally finished?
