He's right, the guy could've gone out and got a Deck in a Box, but he wanted a custom and well-done deck.

I made some progress on Sunday....

I only removed one of the 'bad' boards... I think I may run out of wood...

but I got almost to the front corner. I needed to make some positive progress. I'll start in pulling up the bad stuff tomorrow. I'm hoping to finish the decking between Tues and Weds, and hopefully get at least one section of railing up.

The rest had to come up, but I was able to use most again... I just cut ends off and re laid them.

Here's one of my helpers. He became interested in this for the first time Sunday.. Ripley helped a lot last week, and again yesterday... They both had fun, and earned $25!

He took charge of striking the lines for cuts. We had to use a template on the side where it butts up against the house, because you can't hang past the edge and eyball it like the other 3 sides.
