Terrible day, rain is heavy and more or less non stop. The working party carry on working regardless and by the end of the session there are only a handful of boards to be screwed down on the river side of the club.
Pat Morgan uses his chain saw to cut the handrail support for the downriver end of the veranda to length. We slide the beam into place using timber tongs borrowed from Paul Masters, maybe the rain was good as the old deck was pretty slippy and the new beam could be slid into place without using my specially prepared low friction nylon pads (plastic kitchen chopping boards to you).
Then, beyond the call of Duty, Pat stays on in the wet to cut another piece of hardwood to form support pads for the handrail support to fit between the two joists that form cantilevered beams that run out in front of the patio doors. If you stand at the top of the launching ramp and look at the club you'll see where they fit.
