Heading to Grand Isle this morning to take pictures of some properties for my daughter...right where the rain is coming in from the Gulf. Maybe I'll see a waterspout like they had down there yesterday!

Got the yard thatched, raked, and cleaned up in record time last night it only took me two hours. Although I may have cheated a little and pulled an acreage rake behind the tractor and then used a pull behind sweeper to pick up the thatch and dump it out near the curb for the city to pick up. I think I'm going to redesign the acreage rake so it's a 3 point hitch attachment instead of a tow behind so I can use the tractor hydraulics to raise and lower it.
Now all I need to do is get a box blade, get the loader built, and get the 3 point hitch plumbed into the hydraulics so I can start re-landscaping the yard.

I would say Trex just because it's the original composite decking and it's been around the longest.

That's just nuts!!I would..... Trex has a hidden fastener system and there is one made by National Nail called Camo which gets driven in at an angle on the nose of the board.
