Preparing for some under-deck work today, and am smelling #skunk odours from that area.

Hope this is a solo job and there's nobody waiting to keep me company under there.

So far no creatures showing up under the deck, as I take a break to get some tools and my computer glasses.

A tight space where you have to look upwards for a task doesn't work too well with progressive lens glasses.

On the positive side the cramped work is like an intensive #yoga session. I'm all downward-dog and child pose all morning.

When I saw the vents under there a few weeks ago I thought "Ugh that looks like several days of work."

I spent a big part of the morning trying to free up screws I could barely touch and couldn't see from close up. Removing the vinyl I discovered a large hole that some cowboy had chopped out instead of proper vent holes.

Lots of cramped work ahead, but I'll be glad to fill that in.
