I did everything from drawing the blueprints to pouring the concrete footings. The door initially opened directly on to the staircase, which I simply removed, and then reattached after the deck was finished.
Took about 2 weeks (half of which was shopping time, and waiting for the concrete to dry), and cost just under $2000 (not including materials)
.
I question things which people take for granted. I would have been that kid who said the emperor was naked. In real life that kid would probably have been lynched, but I'll take my chances... I believe truth inherently valuable, no matter how well intentioned the ideology it dispels may be. I also write about random interesting things from my personal life.
Nice job! Was it the first that you worked on that kind of project or did you have previous experience?
ReplyDeleteThat was the first.
DeleteMy prior carpentry has been limited to making closet shelves, a bed frame, a worm composting box, and a few raised bed planters, none of which required any kind of research, design, or metal brackets, they were just cut and screw.
That looks Great!
ReplyDeleteDang this looks very good.
