Undecking the halls, Oak Island style.........................

[Frank Walsh]

Deck the halls, or hauling the deck. The dynamic (and lazy) duo at work removing the old deck from the barge in preparation to re-decking it this spring. Not all were successful. I'm sure Jordan can come up with a few epic fails.

Nice bit of engineering there to get the job done.

[Tim Kelly]

Nice work. Can't beat a bit of smashing stuff up.

Have a fantastic 2015.

[Frank Walsh]

Now we be re-decking. Frank Walsh style. Anyone want to guess how many boards we used????

[Frank Walsh]

Good news. It's strong enough to hold Kringle up. The real test will be Scarlett.

If we use the fuel hose as an arresting cable maybe Jeff can land a war machine on it!?

[Frank Walsh]

Already landing a war machine on it. A white Ranger. However, I like the arresting line concept. Been known to come in a little hot. Especially with a strong north something wind.

[DSmith]

On the end near the hose reel, did you make a bobsled run for the end of the winter season? It also does appear that you used all the boards for the re-decking. Nice job.

[Frank Walsh]

Used up all the boards???? I don't think so. Still have two bundles staged to rebuild the bridge.

We are all impressed with your handy work. Very impressive.

[Frank Walsh]

As long as it holds you up.

[JBlanck]

I'm guessing 140 boards. That was without trying to count off the picture.

[Frank Walsh]

Should be close. 72 feet, and boards are a full 6". Guess an average of 3/8" between the boards. And about 35 used under the deck for a skeleton.

[Frank Walsh]

I don't want to say I'm bored today, but there are 134 boards on the deck.

[Muskie Junkie]

Wow, Jeff was always good with measuring wood, usually in inches though.... like 3-4 inches.

[JBlanck]

True Steve. That and "throwing the bat" and going hand over hand to get to the top of the baseball bat to see which team got to bat first! I would practice that at home by myself.

[Frank Walsh]

And did you get different results each time?
