03-27-10. More progress on the deck today. Now you can see what this picture was: http://www.milesboyer.com/Photography/Photo-of-the-Day2/10863291_BGCUM#809812957_KaBpT (in case you still can't figure it out, they are aluminum spindles) I got most of the railing installed today. This involved drilling a 3/4 inch hole 1 inch deep for both the top and bottom of each spindle. 272 holes. This turned out to be a perfect job for the drill press on Popo's Shop Smith. I developed a pretty good assembly line system for doing all the repetitive drilling, but it was still a tedious process. I also pullled nails and organized the scrap heap from the old deck. Now I just need to build the stairs, finish the railing, build the arbor, and stain it.
03-26-10. Broken. Just a broken mirror that was in the parking lot at work. (I swept it up and disposed of it after taking the picture.)
03-25-10. Straw Sea Creature. For a last minute photo that didn't require much thought or effort, I'm really happy with the results. I think these brightly colored straws have potential for a few more photos.
