Man, that post-hole digger is gonna kill me! Tough work for someone who's used to a desk job. Some of those 16' long 2X10 pressure- treated boards get pretty heavy, too. It was a workout just loading the material on the flat-bed cart at Home Depot today, then loading it from there to my poor little Ranger, then unloading it all once I got home. So... I didn't get much done today and mainly have "before" pictures so far but I will update them as I go. Notice the difference in fender/tire clearance between "deck06.jpg" and "deck07.jpg" pictures. That's loaded vs unloaded. I'm pretty sure my truck isn't supposed to be hauling quite that much weight around but it did ok and got us home even if the front end did tend to want to float in the air some. :-D Just got two small portions of the outer band done today. Will work on it some more tomorrow. The idea is to make it kind of butt up against the edges of the pool. Let's see how good of a job my wife and I can do building this thing. :-)
