I just finished repairing our deck over-all it wasn't very difficult it just took patience and some manual labor but I think it was worth it.

This was the first time I have done a wood construction project this big, it was very satisfying work. Now our deck is not in danger of rotting for several more years!

I did a really bad job decking the landing on my yurt, so I redid it today, PEP style.  There were 14 stickers total.

Here is my submission for laying sticks for decking.
I used 10 2x8s on my 10‘ x 6‘ deck.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- Use wood screws and pilot holes
- no treated wood

To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:
 - Photo of the deck before the boards were installed
 - photo of a pilot hole with a screw laying next to it
 - Photo of the deck after the 10 boards were installed.  

Clarifications:
- Thermally treated wood is acceptable

That's my roommate. He's kinda weird, but he always pays his half of the rent. And he gave me this tiny ad:
