My sister and her husband are in the process of switching houses with my mother-in-law.  Process is the key word.  There's no easy way to do it and one of the pieces that must be completed is adding a deck and rail to the home my mother-in-law is moving into.

Yesterday was the day to really get to work on the deck.  One of my brother-in-law's is a construction worker, and another is extremely good with wood.  Thank goodness.  I lifted, leveled, and drilled, and that's about all I trust myself doing.  I once got a D slip in woodworking because I was terrible at it and did everything I could to delay working on something because I knew I was just going to ruin it anyway.  That would cost money...hey, I was just looking our for mom and dad's checkbook, since they had to pay for the wood.

When Julie came over to see the progress yesterday afternoon and saw a power drill in my hand she exclaimed, "Bob is drilling?!"  Yeah thanks for the vote of confidence honey.
