More deck boards
















On thursday I spent around 4 hours laying most of the deckboards that hadnt already been done and it got to late to work on it anymore. The next day I finished of laying the boards and made a temporary step and also ran a cedar face down the side parallel to the house so the ends of the joists wouldnt be exposed. You can see all of this in these pictures.

Laying deck boards

Yesterday I attemped to finish off laying the deck boards but was short handed on screws. Today after a trip to the store I will be able to finish my deck boards and move on to the stairs and handrails. This picture shows how far a 5lb box of deck screws got me.

Construction




Yesterday I built half of the frame for my deck and began laying deck boards. The reason for only building half the frame was because I didn't have enough wood for the other half. Today I went to the lumber store and got the rest of the wood now I am ready to finish the frame and the rest of the deck boards when its not as wet out.
