might be the last update
here's the decking I had done. These 9 courses took me 6 or 7 hours in 2 sessions to do by my self.
I was being very very careful to make these joints nice and tight. you can see that there is a pattern ...they break 2 joists apart you can't even SEE some of the joints in these pictures. So, the guy I'm doing it for let's his idiot buddy work on it and now it looks like crap. I'm burning. The part everyone will see.... And i have to work here 9-9 every day this week because dickhead is on vacation. I'm just sick.

Tear out the asshole's work and leave the splintered boards in an obvious and inconvenient place. Throw a few empties on top of the stack too.
If he gives you any static, don't say anything but shit in an empty joint compound bucket. Tell him you're from Canada and you don't play that shit.

No, I'm going to talk to him tonight over drinks and make it clear that I don't want the guy working on it ... and if he does, I'm out. And don't tell anyone that I built it either. I don't want to be a dick, but if I let it go, it's gonna eat me up every time I go over there. He can wait one more goddamned week. I get an extra day off next week that I can devote to it... Most of it will be spent undoing the shit work Bill did..... I just hope I can save some of the wood. He did 3 pieces that only span one joist. dumbass. and there are a few that are a good half inch from the edge.

Now see here, when you do my deck you will be the only one working on it, and I guarantee that.

Seeing how this has dragged out for 4 months, I imagine the property owner is pretty frustrated.

I got some pics of what I'll be fixing. Guy is forbidden from working on this any further. He's a painter. let him paint. He can even seal the deck when I'm done.... just don't let him touch my saw again.
He just paid no attention to what had been done, and very little to what he was doing.... I use a nail to keep the expansion gap the same everywhere. I just put the nail between the board I'm nailing and it's neighbor to keep them parallel. Boards have crowns... sometimes you have to bend them a little to make it work....

My buddies are construction guys, and one a really good woodworker. I know how pissed they get when someone else does a half-assed job, especially when it reflects on them.
It's going to suck to fix it but you're right jim, do it right or don't do it at all! Do you know anything about building log homes? I'm pretty sure I'm going to win a lottery tonight. |

There are several spots where the boards are not flush with the edge.... this is the worst...probably because the flashing leaps out at you and glints in the porch light...
and this is the piece de resistance.... I don't even know what to say about that... other than... cock.

He needs a kick in the taco, paco.
