Building a deck was my first chance at laying out a weight bearing structure that was meant to last. The experience also afforded me the opportunity to learn about weatherizing, wood framing, material selection, and good old hard work and dedication. Once completed we added a privacy wall took the chance to enjoy our new outdoor living room.
One of many trips, with many laughs. But I made it!
Laying the ground work.
Getting the base in and level.
The base structure. This deck isn't going anywhere.
Joist hangers for days.
Second level, coming right up!
Just a man and his masterpiece.
Viola! Double decker deck for the win!
Added a privacy wall.
Plants, furniture, lights. Time for some backyard dinners!
Outdoor living room complete.
