Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I’ve been checking out my stats today and the numbers have been off the charts so I dug a little deeper and saw they were coming from http://boston.com/ not boston.com/someotherpage, but from the main page. So I checked it out a little further and it is featured on the main page under the heading New England Blogs all by itself. you can see for yourself if you click there and scroll down in the right hand column about 3/4 of the way down on the front page!

sweet!

Lots of composite trex-like decking.  Smart to use around salt water.  I wonder how they will finish off around that edge.  Stay tuned to these pages and we will find out as the project rolls forward.

We will gather at Sailor Stan’s immediately after the plunge for a pot luck, BYOB lunch (this means bring a dish, appetizer, desert, anything) . A donation to Sailor Stan’s of $5 per person is requested (heat ain’t cheap ~ so don’t you be either!). Coffee, hot chocolate and chowder will be provided.
