When I installed the rain gutter, it did not come with enough kit to prevent it from leaking a little at the seams. So as it’s nice weather, I decided to setup the scaffolding and fill the gaps from the inside of the gutter with some silicone kit.
It’s much easier to do this with the scaffolding.
The old Huntington grill that Mart gave me when he visited back in 2017 has finally given up. After replacing the burner, ignition and hose in March, it just wouldn’t burn anymore now. So it was time for an upgrade.
Kept it very modest, but this one does have three burners instead of two. And a temperature gauge and a tray to keep things warm.
But it’s stainless steel only for the front plates and the tray, so we will see if this one holds up 7 years too. First test will be tonight, Christmas Eve with a nice big steak. 🥩
Update: it’s officially approved. ðŸ¤
About 5 years back, there was a period with frost and the deck boards on the east side were snow/ice covered for a while. As the sun doesn’t reach there, these boards suffered more than on the other 2 decks. I replaced the boards worst damaged and gave them a Federal Blue stain coat.
The lighter ones have been replaced.
As you can see from the picture below, some really weren’t very solid anymore;
The siding boards were cut by the cabin builder Neil Buie, and some of those cedar boards weren’t top quality. So one decided to split in half. So today I replaced it with a new board.
It stands out now because it’s not stained, but as I’m out of stain that will be done next time I’m over, when I will probably give the logs a fresh coat of stain too
