Deck #1

Home Up

 

 OK.  So we have a plan.  We decide to start with deck #1 -- the lowest deck.  

In order to keep the deck low enough to not need a building permit, we need to "lower" the level of the rock wall.  Diane's brother Doug helps blast through the rock.  Thanks Doug! 
He's showing me how to do it... try not to hit your toes!  
So I got a little out -- but Doug did most of the work!  
Here we are ready to set the pier blocks for the first level.  
We're digging some holes...  
Piers are in, getting ready to set the posts and beams.  
Here's a shot from the top. 
And a day later the framing is done.  Ignore the chair, I was just testing to see if it works!  
Here we go, decking installed!  (Don't worry, we'll trim the edges!)
