This isn&#8217;t a big deal, but both have to be taken out, the bottle cleaned off, and a bit of wine and a new cork placed. <\/p>\n<p>I finished a multi-purpose rolling cart and secondary critter door for the large deck on the south side. Photo next time. I have had a wood pallet leaning against the house in front of the commercial critter flap that was built-in when the deck was being constructed. The purpose was to block strong gusts of wind from blowing the flexible plastic. My solution uses a similar flap as part of rolling table or cart that can serve the function of a side-table for gatherings involving snacks. <\/p>\n<p>Another thing completed this week is the 8-ft ramp (50&#8243; wide) off the back concrete. In the photo, several holes are needed (for nails) in the last plank. The cedar hue of the planks is from a double coating of &#8220;sun screen&#8221; &#8211; &#8211; a penetrating clear wood finish (CWF) preservative with ultraviolet (UV) protection. I alternated 2x4s and 2x6s; used ones with some issues, but this usage seems better than cutting them for fire wood. Eliminating a step is nice and the wood was here (free; sort of); the finish came from a 2-gallon purchase a couple of years ago during a sale at BiMart.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ramp-near-back-door.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13553\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ramp-near-back-door.png 372w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ramp-near-back-door-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 85vw, 372px\" \/><br \/>\nA large raspberry patch was here \u2013 fuel for a wildfire.
