Deck Repair Update

Not too much to report on the deck repairs. The concrete work has been completed for all of the permanent post bases and they are all curing. Most of the work came out fine the first time, but not all. The ocean washed out 3 of the concrete pads the first time they were poured. Doesn't seem like a crisis, but getting concrete out to the lodge is a big job, not to mention having to re-form and then get the concrete down the rock face and under the deck one bucket at a time. The second time I poured them the tide was higher than the first. This time I wrapped them in plastic, however, attempting to make them as water tight as possible. From what I can see (the forms are still in place) it appears that this minimized the washout even though the pads were several feet under water at high tide - and had not fully set prior to their submersion. Tomorrow I'll remove the forms and then I'll know how it really worked. If it was successful I'll take a few photos and post them. If not, I'll grumble a bit and then figure something else out.
