The Monumental Deck
Note the nice GALVANISED steel posts.
Quite a few people (builders and engineers) commented on how NICE my holes were. Well, they did take me quite a while to dig, entirely by hand.

After gaining resource consent late in 2004, construction of our new DECK is now under way at last.
