September 1, 2018. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Deck.

The glass enclosure needed attention. One of the standards had moved just a bit which meant everything had shifted too. When the hot tub has been removed, we decided to remove a set of stairs between the hot tub and our deck and extend the deck. We never used those stairs anyway. In fact, the rose bushes had grown so tall and thick that no one could have possible used those stairs. The man who bought the hot tub is a carpenter so we hired him and his crew to extend the deck, fill in the open space where the hot tub used to sit and shore up the glass enclosure. We will then move the table to the area of the enclosure so we could eat outside without the breeze. The two men started work this morning. They made progress. The glass enclosure is now secure. The foundation under the new deck over the stairs has been done. Tomorrow they will put down the planks for the decking. Next they will remove the hot tub and fill in the space. Ken and I will be pleased with the new look. For some reason, Ken and I never made a decision to install the new/used hot tub. I thought we were going to have George cover up the empty space and Ken thought we were installing the used one. So the hot tub appeared. Fortunately it was not expensive. But I will be happy to have it gone. And we thing the table in the enclosure will work well. The workmen today reported that the area behind the enclosure is much warmer than just the deck. Ken and I enjoy watching projects unfold. So today we were pleased with the progress. They have promised to be finished tomorrow but I expect the work might finish up on Monday morning. Then we can sit and admire the new look.
