Summer of the Deck: Week 5

Framing passed inspection, but JD was at camp until noon on Friday. He headed home and endured the record high temps (105+) to get the decking completed before the party on Saturday evening. Several guys headed over around 3pm to get to it. Things were going great until about 8pm. At that time we learned that you can OVER hydrate. Who knew? A quick trip to take a friend to the ER informed us that indeed you can. Water alone + high temps + lots of sweating = sodium depletion. An IV to restore the poor guy's sodium made him mucho better.

JD worked again all day on Saturday. At 5pm this is what he had accomplished.


Awesomeness! Let's party (with water AND Gatorade, of course)!
