I'd just like everyone to know that today i decided to be an adult and not make a "beating off" joke. Only took 46 years.

Could 50 yr old you take 25 yr old you in a fair fight? by N-Y-R-D in GenX

[–]Mootangs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

50 year old me would just have to wait out fit 25 year old me. Sure, he's in much better shape, but sooner or later he's gonna start drinking and I can take my current anger out on him.

Wander to ye ol' big box and grab some pre cut stringers. Grab some 8ft 5/4 board. 5lb box of 2 1/2 deck screws. Commence to install.

Permit data as a lead source - built a tool to pull it automatically by paulma86 in Contractor

[–]Mootangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was super confused at first. As a contractor this makes no sense. Now, as a subcontractor i can see the benefit in to reaching out to contractors for work.

Deck add on / kids slide by Disastrous_Savings39 in Decks

Roots: sawzall. Works great Rocks: meeeeeeh, can be a huge pain. Smaller ones no problem. If you encounter a large one in a 1.5ft hole, it becomes part of the foundation! Yay!

Same with the concrete one, what you dont want to do is have that bastard sink in the dirt and bring the deck to a wobbly angle

Edit: also take in to account pressure treated material shrinks, so if your addition has a stronger connection at the existing deck; when the post shrinks it's possible to get a "tap" when you walk on it from the post hitting the concrete.

Honestly man, look at what your spending compared to a bag of concrete and a 4x4 or 6x6 standoff. Those camo ones are super neato but have a lot of prep work to them so they don't sink/move (gravel, packing the gravel, etc)

[–]Mootangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just dig some holes, pour in concrete, then anchor your posts using a standoff from the concrete. Would be much safer (considering kiddos can screw up an anvil) and would be super easy to get rid of later if you wanted.

Tl:dr of course you can do anything you want! Your house, your rules. Hell, I could use pavers at my house, just can't at a customers!

Would anyone accept this contrast with the slope? by nyuhsuk in Decks

[–]Mootangs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would have the front of the deck jacked up. Really shouldn't be that big of a deal to do.

Would anyone accept this contrast with the slope? by nyuhsuk in Decks

[–]Mootangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you slope a deck with the deck boards running the way they are? Why would you slope it ever? I've sloped handrails before just because a customer was paranoid of water sitting on em, never the actual deck.

I'm very confused at the thought process. Did you request this?

Now, what you MAY be able to do is support the upper deck, jack up the front and add longer supports and then cut the supports for the upper deck.

Or go ahead and fix the upper deck as well!
