For Stock Rigs Only

So, are you agreeing or are you defending the smash burgers?

 

As often is the case, my works plans changed. Found wet and rotten deck joists during demo and customer wants all new posts & railings. Current wood rail posts are 8' apart. Too far for 4x4 posts. Should be 6' max. So a nice add-on. They want that Fiberon/Synthetic product from HD. They're older so I can understand the no maintenance. At least the decking in wood (PT). So now it's basically a full deck rebuild above the framing.

 

You’re going to be there for a while…
No fishing for you.

 

Yes. I figured 3 more days. We're delaying the upper section until later in October. I left a few days between this job & next so that should be able to absorb the extra days for the main deck. Can't reschedule the next one.

I'll get some pics today.

 

Oh. As I'm working on tearing up old deck boards. The neighbor walks over and asks If I can do a number of things. Yes to all. She just moved in. It's all interior work and I asked if it can wait until December. Check!

 

You on the deck working like..

 

Good morning Stockers

 

Breath..
You’ve got this..

 

Remember...cover and switch plate screws go with the slot vertical.

 

I put them in sideways just to piss people off

 

I would expect nothing less.

 

Oh so YOU'RE the guy doing that!

 

YAAS!

 

When I'm on the Foodies BS thread and see misaligned switch plate screws above someone's kitchen counter I can't unsee it

 

Well, then you will never un see my house..
ROFLMAO..
I wallpapered the switch blanks to match the walls lol

 

It's working

 

Awesome TY

 

Day 2. All decking, posts and railings removed on the lower deck (41' x 28'). 2 joists replaced. Demo officially done. And got joist tape on the areas that had a chance to dry out. 1 railings section left, that has a gas line attached. I'm not touching that. Homeowner will take care of it. Railing post layout and installation is next. Old decking was cedar and only 15 yrs old. Never seen so much rot. Not sure what happened.
