I feel that one day soon I could hear a loud rumble and walk around to the side of my house to find a pile of wood and nails rolling away! As you can see, my deck is held together with just a few nails. The nails won't stay in and support the wood anymore!! The nails are in need of a nail nursing home! I walked up on the deck to remove a planter and the last step of the deck crumbled under my feet! I am afraid to walk back up to get the other planters! I had been teaching my 1st graders about abstract art and realistic art......hmmm????????? Could my deck be on the verge becoming an abstract piece of yard art?????? We have been working on recycling in art! This could be a new art lesson for next year! After 32 years of teaching I could always use a new lesson!!!(and a new deck!!!) ....wait......was that a rumble???????????
