Black hole, open space

You might think that I have fallen into a black hole and disappeared, but no, no I am just so busy slaving away at our cottage. Every time when we come we have so much to do and it takes weeks to get the place back to some semblance of order. This year it is worse than ever since we decided to have a new deck built. To have someone else doing something in this family is in itself a big thing. Hubby is more of "the last man" category and doesn't delegate work easily, but this time he just had to because of the lack of holidays in his new job.

We are very impressed with the work they've done so far and also with the speed they are doing it. Hubby has previously built a deck and it is one of the times when the saying "he doesn't make a mistake in a hurry" came to mind. What he did in a month or more they have accomplished in two days. Today they start with the roof.  We are fretting over if we should have a bannister around it or not. It looks nice the way it is now since it feels nice and open, but having elderly family members in the house (no, not just us) it might be better to have visible limits.
