got the salvaged railings back together from the old decks and put them up, so the deck is pretty much finished. Ran short 2' on the rails but they'll do till we can afford more
http://restfultrailsfoodforestgarden.blogspot.com/ also took the pieces of the old deck and made a platform by the pond for a wooden swing to sit on and step up to it..and also made a rough bridge across the channel of our pond to the island for access..so all the parts of the decking were used up but the rotten posts and a few boards
this past weekend I took some of the 5/4 lumber and made 7 bluebird houses out of several of the deck boards..and am thinking of burying the rotting posts around some of my garden beds as some "temporary" edging until they completely rot away..to keep weeds out and give me a mow strip.
good to have that mess taken care of now and have so much come from it
salvaged an arbor that was on a small deck also and that is in the photos on the link, the gingerbread that was on it still needs to be cleaned, repaired and put back up on the arbor as well..but that will come in time
