Old wood has been removed, thanks to an ad on craigslist where someone removed it and hauled it away for free. I'm going to re-use the existing joists/posts from the old deck.
I'm halfway done pulling nails and expect the fasteners to arrive tomorrow. I'm thankful I found the hidden fasteners that I did because the fasteners made specifically for my decking would have run almost $700. The brand I picked up was $180.
Now, who would be interested in a free beer/cigar build-a-deck herf at my place on Saturday?
