That about sums it up.
What you need is a good, thin crust five cheese pizza.

Which is exactly what I'm going to eat at this very moment. *:)
Sounds good. *Burgers on the grill for us tonight.

We can finally use our deck tonight and cook out. * Our 13 year old
cedar deck was beat up and I got tired of trying to maintain it. * We
had the flooring replaced with Eon Ultra deck boards and Trex railing.
The contractor started on Monday and finished the decking and railing
today. * The skirting will be finished on Monday.

So..........we can now use the deck and it looks great!

I've been thinking of replacing the deck on our house - been looking
into the same deck boards and railing.

Don't know if I want to do it myself though.

Hire a good Amish carpentry crew and relax. They know wood, even ersatz
wood, they show up on time, clean up after themselves, they don't drink,
they don't smoke, they don't do drugs, and they don't steal. Union
contractors around here won't touch small-scale individual residential
work, like a deck,so when I need carpentry work, I contact one of the
elders.

Wood? We don't need no stinking wood.

Hell, I could install a wood deck but the problem is the older you get
the less maintenance you want.

Wood decks are a PITA.
