Oops.

I'd been expressing some concern that the stairs and decks around the property weren't safe and secure. Derek assured me that because they were cedar, it was unlikely there was any real danger. A big fat "I told you so" after my foot went through a deck board on the potting shed. I'd been cleaning moss off the roof, and stepped back to admire the enormity of the piece I'd peeled off - crack! do'h! So, now D's on the hunt for some Craigslisted cedar boards to do some repair work. At least I finally convinced him to secure the master bedroom staircase, too! Eventually, we'll likely be needing to replace a lot of decking around the place. Ideally before any more serious "oops" incidents.
