We had a great day on one of the warmest days of the last two weeks. Quinn and the kids went for another bike ride and were back around 12:30, just in time for Quinn to help us put down the first row of decking. We continued through the day with Quinn hefting 4x8 sheets of tongue-and-groove, Bill working from the crawlspace to seat each sheet, then Quinn and I pounding them securely in place and nailing them so they wouldn't move when the next one was added. The kids helped off and on by coming behind me as I was using the nail gun and they were hammering the heads that were not flush. Good helpers again. Late in the afternoon, Quinn hid a bunch of easter eggs then took them for ice cream. They returned for mac&cheese dinner and campfire with marshmallows.
