When you want to finish a deck in a short amount of time, you sometimes have to work late.  So late that you work right up to your bedtime.  It's a good thing we have understanding neighbors, because this was the scene a couple nights ago at 10:45 pm as Mike finished up the framing on the lower level, (yes, that is a headlamp on his head, an x-mas present from me last year):


I pooped out around 8:00 pm and could barely stay outside to take this picture there were so many bugs out.  Thank goodness for crazy, workaholic boyfriends.
