My new deck project

[forgop]

It's not a big start, but I'm starting to get the hang of it now. I'm using Camo Fasteners and it's taking just a bit of a learning curve to get this all figured out. After about 3-4 more boards, I'll be able to start using full length 12', 16', and 20' boards which will do wonders to speed things along. Probably done working on it until Wednesday as I have an exam on Tuesday to prepare for.

One thing I'm doing is butting up new 2x10's on some of the joists that seem to be about 1/4" - 3/8" low. It's a lot easier to just set a new joist than it is to raise a joist nailed in place.

Another huge plus will be once I get enough of the deck complete, I'll put a table with the compound miter saw on it so it's a whole lot less going in and out of the garage. That and I'll have a helper all day Friday.
