Deck Project

Here's what the latest project on the house has been; blood, sweat and curse words to build our 20' by 30' deck.

Proof I did work on it

The railings and spindles get started today

 

Looks awesome man. Nice work

 

Looks good, come over so we can get started on extending mine out lol

 

That is a serious deck you have going on there. It should be nice when it is finished.

 

How much are you looking to extend it?

 

Thanks guys

 

awesome, just in time for BBQ season

 

nice... when you coming to build mine ha ha ha

 

, supply the food/beer and I will help you out.

 

I will be calling you when and if we ever get our house.

 

Yea, I am down to help out. I dont claim to be a master deck builder though . This was a huge learning experience for me, my dad was the teacher.

 

might take a LOT of beer and food for the deck I want to build.. ha ha

 

Would probably save you 4k in Labor though .

 

Nice looking Deck. Just curious, how much did all those pier's cost you installed, and how many are there?

 

When you say Pier's what are you referring to?

 

The concreate/sonotubes that are in the ground. Or were those there from an old deck? They look fresh

 

How did the stairs turn out? That's the hardest part to make look perfect, or so I've found.

 

Well, its tough to say since I didnt pay for labor. I think they took us about 65 bags of concrete plus the actual tubes and the rental of a power auger for a day. I bought all the materials at once and without the receipt which I am to lazy to go get right now I couldn't really tell you, they sucked ass to dig though.

 

The stairs turned out perfect, but the landing I made prior to the stairs being built is ummmm not exactly square to the deck....so I need to readjust that now lol.

 

Here is today's work:
