Bill: nice progressive documentation. My favorite is "Upper deck in primer": the low angle, converging lines, and color of primer combine to make an eye-catching picture. The unfinished hot tub looks lonely and out of place. Too bad you had to spend your vacation doing this; I hope you got a sense of accomplishment as a reward. Last year we replaced our deck's top boards: was cedar; now Trex (artificial wood). No more painting!
