Schlepped
into Goodro’s right after breakfast to pick up all the Sauna deck things I
forgot to order yesterday. Story of my
life! Based on my experience with the
“floppiness” of the Clubhouse decking material and after conferring with Tim
Combs (one of the Goodro’s owners), decided to use 12″ on center joist spacing
for the deck, vice the 16″ on center spacing the manufacturer says is
allowable. Also went to the Middlebury
Hannaford where, surprise, surprise, my prescription processed through just
fine. Spent the rest of the day
installing all of the Sauna deck rim joists that are attached to the
building. Most of that work had to be
done while kneeling, of course, which currently is #2 on my list of least
favorite positions. My wish came
true! The lake water temperature is up
to 66°, so went in for the first dip of the season. Took a looooong time to convince myself go in
past my knees, a sure sign that I’m not as brave foolish as I used to
be. Or maybe not, as I did take the full
immersion cure eventually. With swimming
also not part of my current repertoire, didn’t stay in the lake very long…
