DeckProject
This summer, Jeff decided to take on a deck project.......
2x6 cedar with about 300sf.
45 degrees with 20' boards ensures that there is not a single junction on a single board.
Superdeck stain and Deck-Mate fasteners.
With a full-time job, it quickly became a slave-labor situation.
After realizing his mistake he called all of his friends (all 1.5 of them, anyway) only to find out they were out of town until 2005 (or until whenever the deck is done).......
......and staining each piece of decking individually before building only adds to the labor:
(Thank god Erin's been helping with this part)

Subfloor with 12 inches on center means 8 extra joists.......
