Building a deck.

[turkeyrun]

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

Word gets out you have a Big deck, no invites needed. They will just show up.

I thought projects like this were what son-in-laws are for! (For me, anyway!)

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.

Why do you need the bracing? The decking boards will not be enough to tie it together and prevent warping?

I just built a deck off my reloading/mancave shed. I wanted to go Trex but a $30 a stick, my tight butt just couldn’t swing it!

I am a little late to the party. They make a waterproof "tape" to run on the top of the floor joists that can keep water from soaking in thru the gaps and under deck boards in to the tops of joists and cause rot. It can really extend the life of the joists. You may be a little too far in to installing the deck to add the tape.
