Building a deck.

[turkeyrun]

Good start
Just keep telling yourself how much enjoyment you will receive, after it is finished.

Looks to be a big deck! Gonna be a sweeeeeet hang out place!

I know you all gonna have some parties and some kin folks stacked up on that.

Might I suggest, if you have not thought about extra cross bracing! And the two corner to corner underneath.

I appreciate any suggestions you have....
Started cross braces but got tired. Got some stacked and ready to go. The x brace I'm still thinking on.

When you get it finished you can invite the ladies over to sit on your big deck.

That green wood moves a lot, if you can add some more blocking on that beam you are hanging your joists on it my save some work later. . I have seen one crown hard and one belly hard and make a mess of things.. That treated lumber has a mind of its own. Looks great.

if you plant bushes around keep them trimmed down it makes your deck look bigger.
