A broke mans backyard DIY build/paradise

[Reef-junky]

Got almost all the outside blocks level then it started to rain.

 

[Reef-junky]

Ran out of 2x8s

Got the back on today

Been forced on a lot of OT so I haven’t got anything done on the deck for a while. The rest of the stairs finally came. They are a lot bigger then I thought they would be. Started to put them together and found out the extension can only go on one side which of course is the wrong side for where I was going to put them. Going to build a small add on to the deck for just the stairs.

Started working on the pool deck again. Put the missing 4x4’s in. I was originally going to run taller 4x4’s to make a railing out of but decided to go with prefabricated ones. Going to start on the middle brace now.

 

[Reef-junky]

Got the center support in.

Great work.... I admire the dedication. Do you need to permit that where you are?

 

[Reef-junky]

Depends on how tall the deck is I think.
