Let's review

Deck's done

It's finished! We built the other staircase and finished the railing on Monday. Here's the before and after view. Check out the full gallery of pictures here.

Deck almost finished

Me, Michele, and my dad have been building a deck for the last couple of months. Dad's the mastermind, and has done an incredible job figuring out how to build this thing. He's also a workhorse, coming up to the house to work on it even when Michele and I are gone. Michele has been helping him the most, figuring out how to work around the "unique" features of the house. Together they are the brain trust of this project. I am pretty much limited to doing whatever it is they tell me to do, which usually involves fetching them water or beer or some other form of refreshment.

Here's a photo gallery showing the progression of the deck. Check it out.

Building our deck -- Summer 2008

Back again

Hey everyone, I'm back. A quick summary of what's going on:

• We have a new niece! See pictures here.
• My summer job is finished and I now await news on whether I will get a permanent offer.
• Law review work is in full swing.
• Our deck is almost finished. We started building it in June and now we're putting the last touches on it. I'm working with dad today to put up another set of stairs. 
• My third and final year of law school begins on the 25th.

That's about it. I'd like to update this site more, but I don't really have the time or inclination to write long posts. I do, however, like to post pictures at this site, so please check back there.
