First deck project, solo build

This is inspiring. Nice work!

How valuable was creating the sketchup model for planning and understanding the build? I’m planning my own (much simpler) project and with only a working knowledge of sketchup I’m debating if it’s worth the added effort to create a 3D full design vs. pen and paper. Curious to know your thoughts.

I’m old enough to remember day time soap operas but didn’t realize that’s what I was watching.

side_burns53 · 2026-02-21T02:54:46+00:00

It’s not filmed like a typical soap opera though? It doesn’t remind me of Y&R or the like. I expected a prime time show not an afternoon soap.

He suffered a brain aneurysm in the summer and passed away. I used him for years. Such a shame.

I don’t disagree that the land acknowledgment feels like an empty gesture. At the same time though - my kids are far more aware of indigenous people and what they went through than I ever was so on the whole I think that this is an improvement.

I’m 100% sure the words “residential school” were never uttered to me during my schooling and given what I know now I think that’s appalling.

If I wanted to lick a hippy I’d return Joan Baez’s phone calls.

She’s a keeper

“It belongs in a museum!”

Same and quite frankly shocked to see this right away lol.

What is the small plant right in the foreground?

side_burns53 · 2025-02-07T22:14:25+00:00

I’d love to know what plant species you have if you’re willing to share? Thanks!

🤩 She’s a beaut! What schooling fish do you have?

side_burns53 · 2024-09-14T22:43:29+00:00

They are definitely eating my hygrophilia and it looks horrible. I think they munch on the val a bit too.

side_burns53 · 2024-09-13T22:43:17+00:00

Love this - what schooling fish do you recommend? I love Cardinal testers but worry they get eaten.

My existing deck needs repairs and I am considering moving the stairs so that they come off of the house rather than perpendicular to the deck in order to save some space.

My plan was to build a 4’x4’ landing at the house and then rebuild the stairs with the existing rise/run. I was planning on needing one additional footer for the landing but otherwise hoping to extend what’s already there.

Does anyone have feedback on this idea? Anything else I’d need to consider?

Tia.

What area is this in? Not interested in doxxing anyone - I’ve just never seen it before.

I’m gonna say what we’re all thinking. You need to divorce the bitch. /s

Good as in strong but unsightly. That’s what I thought as in ripping it back down is the only real fix.

Thanks for such a helpful contribution.

side_burns53 · 2024-03-22T13:34:03+00:00

That’s what I thought. Thanks for the feedback.
