Home Improvement Thread ~ New Deck {pix}
 

Just finished the new deck on the back of my house. Very pleased with the way it turned out :)

Looks good man.

I like that you chose a diagonal instead of a horizontal/vertical. I think it adds a little extra "class" I guess you could say. Looks nice.

Nicely done !!!!!! :thumbsup

Thanks mate :) -- I read online in a carpentry forum that in small spaces, such as I have, you should use a diagonal pattern for the boards as it makes the space look larger. I am very pleased with the end result. I am going to put some waterproofing on it tomorrow -- and it will be ready for enjoying (next year...)

what kind of wood did you use?

Nice job Tim.

Nice job! I just added a new deck and a bar this year as well... here are some earlier pics before the doors etc were done... I'll have it all finished for next summer to enjoy :thumbsup

I'm all thumbs - I usually have to hire someone to do work on my house such as that. :Oh crap

ADG

I was expecting to see a Twistys girl sprawled out on your deck..

she's in the shed :2 cents:

nice work :thumbsup

my first thought - lol

Nice work.

I just bought a place, the back needs a deck too. Dropped $300 in the DIY store this morning on tools alone. Expensive business this DIY lark.

Pressure treated lumber. Added a translucent natural stain -- which is also waterproof.

Don't you have to wait a year before you waterproof?

Good work man! Does it matter that you blocked half that window?

LOL'ing at the "Stagger Inn".

:-D

The deck looks good,nice work

Looks good. I rehabbed/remodeled homes for almost 3 years by far the most fulfilling job I've ever had. Feels good to build something or turn something that was shit into something.

Nice work, clean and straight.
Just get ready for that PT lumber to shrink a bit next year.
I see you spaced it tight together, so that should leave you about a 1/2 gap by the time ti dries out.
Very nice work no go have a beer on it.

good work

Great pics, I'm a wood deck fan, too. :)

That is what I thought -- get them as close as possible, and then let time do it's thing.

Going to have a lager this afternoon on the deck in my Adirondack chair :)

very nice :)

Turned out really nice indeed :thumbsup

:) did you get a permit ... lol

Added bonus - nobody can escape from your basement dungeon via the window!
