Thanks for the continued support following and the encouraging word. It's appreciated.
With the rear deck area all secured in place I shot it with one more coat of primer to balance out the substrate. At this point I was up ageist the cooler weather again so color may have to wait till spring, but I have lots of other thing I can stay busy with.
I had ordered under deck toolboxes while I was working on the rear deck, and they showed one Saturday while I was in the shop. My wife came out and told me I needed to come out and sign for them. I was kind of puzzled by this thinking she could have just done it but when I saw the boxes I understood. Two of them were fine but the third one looked like it had been dragged behind the truck to my house and I live a long way from town.
The UPS driver was kind enough to wait for me to reject it and apologized for how it arrived saying it happened before he got it. It wasn't something that I needed right then, and it wasn't going to hold me up on other things, so I sent it back and they replaced it in about two weeks. In the meantime, I installed one to see how t looked and it fit just like I had wanted.
From there, there was no more putting it off, it was time to start tackling the pile of doors. This may take a few posts, I have some big ideas for them.
