Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jeffopt44:
That's cool. I went to VT a few time to a buddies private property, we got out to 1000. That gave me the long range bug. I joined a club in mass that gets out to just over 1000. Much closer to home, easy to just go. Which I need to do more! And my other club is expanding out to 250 possibly farther in the near future. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jeffopt44:

I'm going to preface this with this website - if you're ever going to build a deck and want to go the Trex route, go here. http://luxuryliquidationsale.com/
They are located in Auburn MA and they saved me nearly $2000 on our decking and railing materials. They buy discontinued and overstock straight from the manufacturer and pass the savings on to their customers. We ordered all our decking boards and Trex Premium Handrail from them, he showed me my invoice and then we put it all in a cart on the Lowes website as a comparison and it was laughable. $2k savings. This is what I had to begin with. Heinously dilapidated.  Attached FileThis is what I drew up and used for permitting.  Attached FileI built this crane thing for my truck for firewood gathering (I use log tongs for wood) but it proved useful here, too. Ripped the old concrete piers right out of the ground.  Attached File Attached FileMy supervisor, Zeke, insisted I build a temporary ramp so he could still get in and out of the back door while I lumbered my way through this project solo.  Attached FileNow I'm just waiting for the decking to come in and it'll be done just in time for summer. |

The ramp is gone now and the framing is complete, my supervisor is pissed.
I'll put up the posts for the railings today, and if I'm feeling industrious I'll start making the stair stringers but I've got all week. The decking won't be in until next week. Next weekend I should finish it up.  Attached File |

Nice job Zegerman!
If you ever need help just call. I have done projects like this many times. I have built houses from scratch before. I built my garage myself. My wife is right along side me working. During the construction of my garage she slipped with the framing nailer while nailing rafters and put a nail into my elbow. It went in about an inch and a half. That hurt! Some paper towels and duct tape and I was back at it. |
