Another Deck Weekend

This morning we were at Menard's by 9:00. JP's untility vehicle handled 2x8 x 18' treated boards with no problem. Like Honda says: "Respect the van."



Despite having frost on the grass this morning and a 10 mph steady breeze, we were in the sun and out of the wind all morning. We elevated our 2x4 frame to the finished level of the deck (about 1.5" below the house floor) and constructed two of the four beams. The biggest hassle was trying to level everything and making the boards conform.

Next step: order the 2x12 cedar boards to replace our make-believe 2x4's for the perimiter frame.
