In addition to juggling a crawling baby (not literally, of course) and an out of state project, I (with strong input from dear wife) decided to build a deck this year. So this is what I’ve been up to, mostly one or two days a week since late July. I’m pretty close to done, there are another 200 or so screw holes to plug and then an application of oil.
90% framed with cantilevers on both ends:
