I couldn't agree more !! You can build a deck at my place anytime ..lol..

I am afraid it wouldnt be cheap with the travel involved.

Two of us were working on it. So no, not 90 hours, but I'd say an honest 36 man hours, with dodging the rain an all.

Took about 2 hours at menards loading the stuff. With the two of us and a menards employee to help. So I guess that would add another 6 or so man hours.

Looks great! Is the deck tied to the house?

Nice job. :thumbsup: How long do you have to wait to apply a finish/stain/waterproofing? (as much interior work as I've done as a carp., I never do exterior work)

Nope. Its free standing.

Dont really know the right answer to that. I have heard several things. But he is going to wait till fall to stain it. To let it dry out some.

Of the two decks on my house, one I waited a year, the other only a week.
