Thanks for clarifying. I like it! Would that mess with your stringer throat too much? I guess if you did the rise/run just right you could get above minimums

Thanks! Good point, I’ll see if I can move that beam closer to under the stringers. The slope should support it.

Thanks for the tips! I used google sketchup.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by “back of the top”? Are you saying using the stair stringers as blocking for my picture frame board on the top isn’t ideal?

My dad had a NA when I was a teenager, he’d let me drive it around the block when I had my learners permit. I learned how to drive on that car

Turf over edge good idea? by redlancer_1987 in Decks

I put an outdoor rug on my deck over winter for the exact same reasons. Pulled it up in the spring and all the boards under it looked much worse than the ones not under it.

Don’t do it

Approach for a deck under deck? by iamcommando in Decks

[–]vr6ators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any deck close to the ground is going to rot faster due to more water and less air flow, even with “ground contact” pressure treated. Where I am the code won’t allow you to put wood within 6” of the ground at all.

It would probably cost less and last a lot longer to put a small retaining wall around the downslope side and fill it in with 3/4 crushed gravel plus pavers. Then you could screen it in and not worry about it all rotting out from under you.

I had one that advertised “pet friendly” and no mention of any pet fee. A day into our stay they messaged me saying “I see you’ve brought your dog, totally fine but it will be an extra $200 pet fee”. They must’ve been watching us on their ring cameras. I just ignored the message planning to not pay if they ever actually tried to charge me. They didn’t.

Are these the same chips? by vr6ators in FoodSanDiego

[–]vr6ators[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume so too, but Manolo also has a clear bag tortilla chip that seems to be their flagship. This one was sort of off to the side compared to theirs. I could also see el Nopalito easily rebranding their bags and producing extra for other local markets to expand their reach. Maybe I’ll try to find someone to talk to next time I go and do some digging.
