Anyone ever built their own deck, OMG it's tedious...
Been working on it in my spare time for about 3 weeks now (an hour or two a day and then 6-8 hours on Saturday). Been mostly just me with a little help from the wife, but finally got some help to come over (bribed with food) and make some progress today.
Original deck on the house was 16x8. New deck will be a 24x24 square, then recessed stairs that go down to a lower deck. Expanding on the lower deck you can see, which then ends up circumferencing a 24' diameter above ground pool (being installed next weekend).
Been a long process, but will be worth it in the end. Hoping to have the joists finished on the upper this week, and then install the uprights for the railing (had a blonde moment and forgot that when installing the piers originally).
Some progress pics:
Before you ask, that's NOT decking, just scrap boards laid out to step across.
