Well, another busy day is behind us. Today included another trip to Kutina for more flowers, and an oil change for the car here in Popovaca. Tomorrow at 8am the car goes back to the mechanic for brakes pads and rotors. Today the joists on the side of the deck that will support the BBQ were completed, and a few more got laid in on the other side.
The joists on the BBQ side have to be set fairly close to one another, as that it will be created from brick and mortor. The others sit at plain-old 16" on center. The issue with the floor joists, as I have mentioned previously, is that because no lumber matches any of the joists for sale, each one has to be individually cut. 70 of them. Joy. Here I am getting ready to do the deed.
And here I am using a grinder with a steel cutting disk in order to 'fix' them to the proper size:
Good thing it was only about 28 degrees today. :-(
Renata and Eka got to planting after I installed the anti-Fred fence around the new garden.
And all that hard work really paid off. Nice job, ladies. We obtained some nice thick marble tiles from a hardware store in Kutina. We got them for a song, and I think they really set off the whole garden.
Well, that's it for tonight, I need a shower in the worst way, and will see if there is anything worthy of a post tomorrow.
Take care all,
K&R
K&R,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you really made progress! Glad to see you are having a good time. How far is Kutina? Hope you both have a good sleep.
Love,
M&D
Kutina is about 25km away, you can go by highway or through a winding little road cutting through several villages. While the highway is quicker, (posted limit is 130kmph, most people go about 150-160)the little road is much more scenic.
