Great thread, Schoobs. Our wood deck is about twenty-five years old now, and SERIOUSLY needs to be re-covered with new boards. They were still copper-arsenic treated boards back then, which is why...
Better most days. DH and i had a 24 hour virus weekend and it took outs toll on my recovery.:eek: other than that, the Dr is very pleased with my progress.
:)
Hmm I just did a Google search and looked at some images.. they look quite nice.
Thanks, i'll have to add that into my mix of getting quotes.
Concrete guys know how to dig :bulb:
Just dig deeper and get more gravel.
Done! :applause:
Hobby Lobby has outdoor decor like that sun. You can fill the back with Great Foam to keep the critters out.
I'm just finishing a house for a client and they went with Azek. It was cheaper...
Great to hear! :woot:
Yeah I have caught some bug that is kicking my butt.
Spent yesterday on the couch.
I feel like a truck ran me over blah.
:lol: yep. It may be hot in the summer, but I can go from my air conditioned house, to my air conditioned car, to an air conditioned building, all without shoveling snow or scraping ice for those 30...
I have had a deck once.. at the house before I moved to Vegas. It was a reg wood deck and yeah we'd get some critters trying to live under it because it was raised about 5 inches off the ground as...
Good points.. especially with MI weather going to extremes in both heat and freezing.
Thanks for the input/advice :)
Good to know, I think I'll scratch that option off my list.
So very true :lol: As little kids we just got back up and kept going... ache went away withing...
Look how spiffy you are, color coordinating your responses! Get on with your bad self!:lol:
The slow healing thing is why I don't get drunk, or even slightly intoxicated. I stop at the buzz. I...
:lol: Oh I get it.. I stop at a slight buzz too.. heck I rarely even drink.. I only social drink and I'm not very social :lmao:
How are you feeling these days?
Cool thanks! I'll finally have to set foot into our local Hobby Lobby.
Some of you really need to post outside of the lounge once in a while.. :lol: Couldn't rep some for the helpful advice.. so .. Thanks :)
Some of us do! :lol:
:comfort: Not feeling well huh?
I told U! Dek NOT inpordant! We must do weesearch!
But u may have to deal with weeds...
Thanks, yeah I have a feeling Trex will be higher just for the name.
I should be closing on the house on the 4th :whee:
Thanks. A friend actually did it for us. Some of it is custom like we used the floor boards as the railing but the underside is not finished so he cut them down and put them together so you do not...
Ah...good to know. I might just stay with my plan to make a wooden one that sits flush on the fence, not letting anything get in behind it. :bulb:
:thanks:
Yeah I kind of have something like this in mind..
which wouldn't need rails.. or this
At your age, shouldn't any steps or change in elevation over 1" have rails?
:hide:
They are waiting until their army is big enough to take over.
It's payback
Thanks. Yeah I don't want to have it too hot for dog paws. Good reminder.
I do hate treating/staining my deck...and we have both a screened-in porch and an uncovered deck that gets stained every few years.
Hopefully you'll get some actual useful input from someone on...
Well it is the lounge so I am hopeful for lots and lots of great advice and insight.
:rofl3::roll::lmao2:
:thanks: I heard from a couple of people in side chats saying that same thing...
:roll:
*shakescane*
Thanks :)
Yep, sounds like what I have.. thought the super achy and dogged tired was from sleeping on the couch for 4 months.. and slept badly or something, but now it's coughing, headache,...
If I was to build a new deck today, and truthfully, that's not far off, I will build a composite deck with hidden fasteners.
I also live in the South, so I'm not worried about cold stuff, mostly. ...
:hug: I did enjoy it for about 25 of my 29 years there..
Sort of how I was happily married for 12 of the 17 years... :lol:
The districts really started doing the big bonuses for admins...
If you keep the shrubbery trimmed back away from the deck it will make your deck look bigger...
We had a composite deck built 2 years ago. We were thinking between wood and composite, and went with composite. Trex isn't the only company that does it. Azec and Fiberon are also great.
No...
:lol: At least I didn't mention that she wanted to kill and eat them ...
My cousin’s dog found a skunk under her car.
They had to drive 8 hours home the next morning.
Oh.. Harvey and Sassy got skunked twice at that house.. ugh not fun but at least we learned the hunter's formula after the first episode.
:thumbup:
I probably will compare prices between...
Very nice :thumbup:
I like the woods right behind it too :)
No idea. My husband had it before I met him so it is well over 10 years old. I hate it though because it is a haven for wasps to build a nest behind with the direct sunlight and all.
