Lovin’ the lower deck
While we were off in Seattle and Vancouver, celebrating 12 marvelous years of marriage, Steve Wasko’s team was working.
After bringing down the dangerous deck, the team hand-dug huge holes for proper supports for the double-decker deck.
Steve suggested upgrading our decking, from regular TimberTech® TwinFinish® Plank in grey (“brushed” side up) to the version of the same product with the CONCEALoc™ Fasteners, for a hole-free surface.
Great call, Steve!
The crew finished the lower deck surface, complete with a step up to the area that will house the hot tub. In celebration, we took careful measurements and ordered the Cable Railing on Thursday.

Glad you had a ball in Seattle! The new and improved deck is looking pretty good. Things are looking up, ey?

Seattle Library Facts:
Visitors are often curious about the amount of concrete, steel and glass that went into the Central Library. Here's a quick glimpse:
Total concrete - 18,400 cubic yards; rebar: 2,050 tons. The concrete in the library would cover 10 football fields 1-foot deep.
Total steel - 4,644 tons. If you compared the weight of the Statue of Liberty to the weight of the steel in the Central Library, there would be enough steel to make 20 statues. The diagonal grid system is designed to withstand lateral forces caused by wind or earthquakes.
Total pieces of exterior glass - 9,994; square footage of exterior curtain wall: 126,767; square footage of interior glazing: 28,963. The glass in the library would cover 5 ½ football fields. About half of the building's panes are triple-layered glass with an expanded metal mesh sandwiched between the two outer layers. The mesh, aluminum sheet metal that is cut and stretched, reduces heat and glare. Most of the glass is cleaned twice a year, and more often for surfaces that need it.
