All Decked.... Out!

  Our camping neighbor has officially left
his weekend get away spot. That's partly
because he didn't have enough free time
to get away there at all last year.
   The last remnants of his camping spot
was the deck that had stood in front of
his camper.
    He built it himself...a fact which
impressed me. Ever since the days of
Erector Sets I've know that I'm not a
builder! I have been able to put Legos
together. But not in any particular
shape.
   But our camping neighbor built his
deck with his own hands after first
designing the whole thing in his mind.
   And this was no Lego set!
   It withstood wind and rain, and the
winter snows.
   Even after his camper was hauled
away it stood there, as though waiting
for a replacement trailer to pull into
place.
   Yesterday three men showed up with
crowbars and power saws to
disassemble the lonely deck.
   They needed all the tools and
mussel they could muster for this
project!
   It took most of the day to reduce the
wooden porch to a pile of rubble. And
much of the material is still in such good
shape the "demolition crew" was overheard
to say they plan to reassemble parts of it
somewhere else!
  When they say.."They don't build
things like they used to" they may had
had my former neighbor's handy work
in mind. Talk about "American made!!!!
    Hope all your stuff is built to last and
that all your NEWS is good!
