I think it will be big enough, just not big enough for all the La-Z-Boy outdoor furniture crap along with all the normal stuff you have on a deck.

If I saw it in our backyard maybe. I could snipe it with a high powered pellet gun or a .22. But I don't have either. And the den is under our front step.

I think I'll just try to evict them and maybe they will go over there and he can catch them and pay someone to take them away.
I need to get some ammonia. Apparently they don't like the smell of it.

Salary. And I took a cut in pay. That was the negotiation. Bruce and I will just have to cut back on food. Kids can eat kraft dinner 24-7

I still think it'll be pretty cramped if you try to get a table out there. I'm thinking we'll have to get a little table and some little chairs to make it work. Of course, we can't hardly afford to buy a new table right now :S.

haha.
I actually thought Poser had list potential, but I didn't want to be mean.
Now that Toady is gone, maybe we can vote/add as a suprise for her when she gets back.

All you need is room for a grill and two lawn chairs.
If you have a party, get the yard involved!

obsessed wrote: Yaaa Party time on the deck!! Looks awesome. Are you going to treat the cedar? I love the colour of fresh cedar, but then it turns grey. Ours is so grey. I was thinking of sanding it this year. I love the trellis and flower box. Very nice touch.
You would need to powerwash the deck and use a deck cleaner to make it look nice. Sanding could help get rid of splinters. Is your deck cedar or treated? You can use colored sealer to make the treated look better.
Yes we are going to put a protector on it. The sucky thing with that is you need to keep doing it every couple of years. I shoulda used the composite decking. But that would have made it really expensive.

So in other news, I hate work. Only 4 months in and I'm already burning out. Gah.
Too bad I've got to stick it out till all our renos are done and paid for. And get my PEng. And it would be great to take advantage of them when I have to go in for a couple of surgeries.
But I still hate my job.

No. The free load and expel noxious gases into the atmosphere with their stink butts. They dig up and kill plants that could have helped reduce greenhouse gases and in turn the plants rot and fill the sky with greenhouse gases of their own. On top of that they eat animal babies and destroy the nests of ground nesting birds. And they carry rabies. They are one of the most likely of animals to have rabies.
Skunks MUST DIE!!!!

HA! I work for General Motors, they are laying off 70 salaried and over 700 hourly people from their assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario in September. There are also three plant in Michigan going through similar downsizing. There's a ton of people out there that could do my job. You really think I have anything in the way of bargining power?

I'm still not sure how I want to have the flower box under the trellis. Sexy!! Sexy as a pregnant woman? Thanks I guess.
Yeeeaaahhh!! 
Seriously though, it's a pretty cool lookin' deck. I reckon it'll be big enough to party on or grill on. You guys going to put a flower garden all the way around for people to roll into and pass out?

Soon robots will be doing your job and then you can supervise the robots inspecting the robots and get longer weekends.... until they get robots to inspect the robots who inspect the robots.... then you will have an endless Saturday.

I put chicken wire around the perimeter of the deck and buried it to hopefully keep them out of under there.
But getting back to our conversation about bodies, I think Doc might have been right. A while back I could smell this skunky nastiness in our basement. I think it might have been the skunks under the step.
