This is the aesthetic peak of 'we just spent our retirement on an addition and now questioning the structural integrity of our handiwork.'

Honey, let's shrink the deck!

A crusty old carpenter once told me that those darlings of suburbia - wooden decks - were the result of a conspiracy.

The conspirators: lumber dealers, Home Depot, power-washer makers and the people who produce and sell the goop it takes to "protect" that darling of yours from the natural world.

I'm sure the man was at least half joking, but I took his point.

Our darling faces south, straight into the punishing eyes of the sun. It's a semi-annual deal - a big deal, at that - to forestall its decrepitude.

We've shrunk it once and are currently shrinking it again. Sharon wants only enough square footage for a table and chairs and the necessary elbow room to maneuver around them.

What's more, we're going to ditch the wood and use that stuff not found in nature.

On a weekday morning, with a cloudy sky, you can sometimes walk along a deserted North Pier in Blackpool, imagining you have bought it, rather than going to the trouble and expense of actually buying it.
