The bay tree limb that had been quasi-supporting the west side of the deck did have to be chainsawed out of there, revealing a spectacular rot-cavity that has no doubt weakened the entire tree. Yikes!
After a few odds and ends and some last milling, a small group began the jigsaw / sudoku task of cutting ranks of deck boards (verifying true straight line to start, making nottches for sills and downspouts, avoiding seam conflicts, and dealing with bowed boards).
This was taken from the balcony just before I left with Alex at 6 PM, and shows a bunch of deck boards not yet spaced and secured.
