Riding the Pine

Not just yet, but we're closer. Here's what we have after working on Monday night:

We were originally having issues deciding how we were going to get these things to fit. If we locked them down before they were all cut, we had less flexibility to move them to make them easier to fit, but if we didn't we were trying to match floating boards with floating boards. We ended up splitting the difference and just attaching each bench top with two wood screws so they'll still be easy enough to remove before we finalize.

Working our way around. We're still just cutting these and tacking them down as we go. This is about where we stopped. We got the last piece cut, but it needs a little adjustment to fit properly. We'll get that done here very shortly. Then we'll also put down some glue on these bad boys and really screw them down so they don't go anywhere. Then at some point in the future, we're going to put tile on them. Woot!

Also, I don't know if you remember me saying anything about this in the past, but our sprinkler system is short one valve in the control box in the front. We always thought there would be one in the back yard, but had no idea where it would be. Well we found it:


Just sitting in them iddle of a big patch of rocks. I stepped on it and noticed the sound was off, so I dug it up a little and voila! Good to know where it is, at least.

Thanks for reading!
