Nice man, just make sure you put some blocking between the joists. Helps with twisting and screws pulling through and with making the deck more solid.

This yard work is never ending, slowly getting there.

Planter garden boxes. Still need to attach the caps and maybe add some support blocking.

[sxtasy]

Your yard is gonna be awesome 88crx, nice work.

[Brent.ff]

Stairs and the trim around front can wait.. but we have a deck!

Better.watch that those chairs don't slide back after a few malted beverages

However I do approve of the survival of the fittest method too

I think we're going to tie them into the deck so they dont go anywhere in the land of the nuclear wind (Airdrie)

Deck looks good Brent!

Finished our deck skirting, built the landing out of 24x30 pavers and built the pyramid stairs.

Finished the patio and fire pit on the weekend

[88CRX]

Damn! We laid 4 paving stone (and it was a shit ton of work) I can't imagine how long that took.

[arcticcat522]

Don't think I would do it again. It kinda sucked.

Not exciting, but I cleaned out my gutters yesterday. The neighbors spruce trees clog them up pretty efficiently, so they need cleaning twice a year.

You should dump all the spruce needles in a pile on your grass, but right next to the property line so they can see them. Then don't say a word about it for 3 months while your grass dies there. Then get really angry and yell at your neighbour and call him an asshole for not cleaning them up.

At least this was my neighbours approach to the situation anyways.

That house is a rental, and the landlord must be an asshole because nobody stays past 1 year. I'm satisfied if they don't hassle me. The current ones are good. They party a lot, but it's pretty low key, mostly sitting around the firepit all night

I'll play with the deck theme.....

Wow the chevron and picture frame was a ton of extra work..... Cedar was on sale so decided to spend the little bit of extra cash. Now to get the rest of the pergola up.



Better view, the OCD in me is driven nuts a little bit. The pattern started out lining up perfect, but falls off by the end by about 1.5 inchs.... But definitely not worth going back and fixing...

[88CRX]

Cedar and chevron pattern looks awesome!
