This has been slow going for a number of reasons:

1. I am trying to save as much lumber for re-use as possible.  There is one 2×8 that cracked in half around a large knot.  The rest of it seems to be pretty sound and can be re-used for the decking material on the new porch.  This means removing each piece, removing all the nails, then stacking it neatly next to the side of the house, out of sight.
2. I have been distracted by many other things, such as winter cleanup, the grass growing, the garden rototilling, planting new grass before it gets too warm to name a few.
3. I have also been very busy at work and at the side job

Regardless of all that, I hope to have the entire deck removed in the next couple of weeks.  Here is an updated picture:

And, just in case you are not enjoying all this good weather we are having around here… Last year at this time it looked like this:

Personally, I rather like the 75-80’s vs 6 inches of snow…
