Looks great. I can only imagine trying to make it 'perfect' with chevron, we had enough problems with ours. If only wood was dead straight and had no bends. Looks really good, glad i didnt try to Chevron it haha!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Floors, trim, baseboards.... almost done.
Final spray enamel to meld all of them together and we should be done!
Just need to build the bunk beds and finish the crown mounding.

The interior of that bunkhouse is almost too nice. Well, too nice for me. Not for you, you are already nicer...
Might as well put all the skill of flipping houses to our own personal use! It’s nice to be able to actually use it for myself for once :0

Bought a ladder. Time to clear out the trees in the gutter.
@88CRX Where did you pick up those corner pieces for your planters? Was it apart of a kit, or can you buy them individually?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

This am I loaded up some major amounts of cardboard, took to recycling place, washed garage, cut lawn, fertilized lawn (will post results in the lawn thread), bought a new hose, and then pulled all the weeds from garden. Back hurts now.
Pulled this crap out of the gutters https://www.leaffilter.ca/blog/home-...s-arent-worth/ and did a good cleaning.
For all those with new decks, one of my co-workers just built a deck and it wasn't attached to his home, but it was attached onto his fence. Is this common or correct? Kinda odd install. Just curious.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
City code does not allow it to be attached to the fence. I found this out when I bought my last house and the seller had to get an easement from the city or else tear the deck down and rebuild it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Speaking of decks, finished this one up for a fellow Beyonder today.

Question. Is that deck allowed to be on the side setback or is it only one side of the house that needs to be clear?

They're just corner blocks you stack, put rebar down the center and then slide 2x6's into the notches. We tied them together with some extra wood supports. We also put 2x6 caps around the top edge to finish them off.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Same at Nismo posted https://www.homedepot.ca/product/per...tan/1001040692 , also they're cheaper if you can track them down at Rona (or price match at Home Depot).

Is that Cedar for the plant boxes? Baller!

Decks aren't allowed to be in the setback area. 1.2m from the side property line and 6m from the rear line in most cases.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Unless it's under 24" in height. It's then considered a patio and deck code doesn't apply.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Typically a house has 1 side that has to be 1.2m clear. They usually do window wells on one side and none on the other. The side without window wells would be your 1.2m clear. The other side can have obstructions like AC and perhaps the deck.
I don't think that's how it works. A deck is a deck, under 24" just means it doesn't need a permit.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Yea we used cedar, can't really use pressure treated for garden planter boxes as they can leach chemicals into the veggiesThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And holy fuck is cedar expensive. These boxes aren't baller, buddy on the last page that built an entire deck of cedar is baller haha.
True, I was thinking of running PT and then a rubber pond liner inside the box.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That was me, haha
The cedar was only a small upgrade from PT, for a 12ft board, PT was going to be $10.3/board or $0.86 per linear foot. Cedar was on sale for $12.00 per 12ft board or $1 per linear foot.
Just made sense to upgrade, but ya in not cheap. For the pergola, i think my 6x6 posts were 78 bucks each, and the rough cut cedar 2 by 8s and 2 x 6's were like 550 together. I avoided the big shops (Rona / Lowes / Home depot)
Found the best prices were at Windsor plywood and a place out by Calaway park called Mountain View building materials (where i got most of my stuff) quality was also significantly better there IMO
