 We started construction of the deck today!  We did not get as much done as we had hoped, mainly because we got a late start, and had to make several trips to the hardware store. 



We were able to get the ledger board up, as well as construct both beams.

So far we have used almost all of the tools in my arsenal.

  • Framinig nailer (rented this)
  • Impact wrench
  • Compound miter saw
  • Table saw
  • Recipricating saw
  • Electric drill
  • Cordless drill
  • Drill press (don't ask)
Tomorrow, we hope to have all the floor joists installed, but we may need to make another trip to the lumber yard.  Keep your finger crossed

Paul Carney's Gravatar Scott - guaranteed that you will make at least another 3-5 trips to the hardware store. It happens on every good project, no matter how much planning you do. Just be grateful that the hardware store is close. At our lake house in NY, it is a 45-minute one-way trip! At least it's a beautiful drive....

Good luck with the project. Let me know when the "grand opening" is - I will bring the beer! :)
