Summer project. Warning lots of pics. - Aquarium Advice

**Zagz** · 09-23-2007, 12:37 AM

For the month of August and part of Sept we have been tearing down our ugly old rotten deck and building a new one. All that is left is the skirting under the deck but we are waiting until spring as the ground will likely shift and settle and we will need to re-level in the spring. That is easier to do with no skirting. It's all cedar.

The old deck.

The ground where the second level will be.

Back to the basics. I had a heck of a time balancing across the joists. LOL

Mound of cedar for the new deck. Did it smell great!

The framing of the lower deck.

Finally stairs between the two levels. Now I can quit climbing up and down.

Finished without the skirting.

And my killer BBQ!

Very nice, you do incredible work.

Awesome deck! I really like how it looks with the linseed oil. It gives it a "natural look" which I like better than the stained with "solid colors" effect. So when's the cookout? : )

Its beautiful! And the 2 levels looks really nice.

Very nice! And where can we expect to see the pond & waterfall installation?

Thanks all, LOL Sicklid, next summer is a two tiered pond with waterfall and rock border.

That's awesome! Looks like Sparky has some competition with your deck (he's building one too).

That is gorgeous and totally impressive! Love the pic with the cat hanging out in the dirt, too.

That's a lot of hard work! Very impressive! It looks like a great place to hang out on a nice summer day!

That is one awesome looking deck! I know the next people that move into my house are going to hate me, since I used screws on my deck!
