My big project is landscaping my backyard (with the help of my daughter)…not as strenuous as building a pier, but for me, it is about as strenuous as I can take at 71. The physical activity is great for muscle tone and for peace of mind. I love your comment, “…it made me think…” That kind of thinking is almost the equivalent of prayer. Hope to see you and Shelley at the reunion!

I get the arduous labor involved with building a pier. I have a lot of experience in my younger days building decks and piers for myself as well as friends. So, I feel ya! My last deck build was at my current home about 20 years ago. I decided to build this deck in a very hot Virginia August. Of course I had a friend assisting. My wife kept us supplied with pitchers of tea just about non-stop and yet I quit sweating. I decided that was my last deck build lol. Since then I have helped support the local contractor community when I need a deck extension etc. lol
