Building a Deck with Grandad

Barry (aka Grandad) and I are building the lower deck out of Mahogany.  I asked him for some help since he had built a very nice ironwood deck at their Stanwood home a couple years ago.  The wood came from Sound Cedar in Mount Vernon where Robert Desmarais is the general manager.  Blast from the Past!......Robert  was the store manager at Bob's Red Apple Market where I worked when I was 15 - 19 years old.  Robert recognized my name when we were arranging the delivery....it was great to catch up with an old friend who made such an impression on my early work life!  The deck is coming along and has been a fun project.....
