Students will learn about deck layout, footers, setting posts and girders, and framing the deck. About the presenter: Michael R.

I placed about a dozen clean small glass jars, with tight-fitting lids, in a Trader Joe's bag on the front porch--free for the taking. Several are "matching," most are about 3" diameter by 3" high. 5811 Stanton Ave.
