My pool and deck project
- Thread starter Yukon Jack
- Start date
Thanks for the compliments! Living in the country is great for sure! Yep, first time to build a deck or anything substantial for that matter out of wood other than wood working class projects back in high school. Sure has been fun and I'm now ready to start on the rails as I got all the accent cuts in the posts. Figured that would take a couple evenings but got all 15 done last night, I was pretty excited!
Definitely think a sink could find its way out in this area in the future. Between the house and the deck I'm going to use flat stone and build a fire pit. It'll cut down on mowing, yep, that's it! :lol:
Still need to do a little clean up on the cuts but thankfully no screw ups. Never thought I'd be able to use a saw with such skill!
Here are a couple more pics of the progress.

Got all of the railing material cut Sunday morning. Will have a 2x6 rough cedar bottom rail, black aluminum balusters, a 2x4 rough cedar top rail with a 2x6 smooth cedar handrail. Once it got over 100 degrees called it quits for the day. Hit 111 here mid afternoon - too hot for me. Hope to do some staining this evening.
Had a great weekend of progress, especially considering the heat - 100+ weather is getting a little old! Next need to work on smoothing the tops of the posts, then staining them and doing some touch up staining to the rails. A buddy is hopefully coming over soon with his bobcat so we can drill the two post holes for the stairs - can't wait to get the stairs up.
Had a very relaxing evening swimming last night and then enjoyed the deck for a while.

Got the deck cleaned last weekend and hope to stain the deck surface if weather permits this weekend.
Also have the stone patio basically done at this point. I can take credit for the deck, but my back wasn't up to the stone project so I hired a very nice man and his wife who did an awesome job!

I want to be you in my next life. I wish I had that much talent. Looks fantastic! Great workmanship! One question, what liner is that because I love it and I go pick out mine Monday.
Glock, I left town on June 5th and didn't see your response about my liner until today. Have you already picked your liner?

No worries but yes I have. I got the Misty Falls by Doughboy. I think its the same as yours. I just really like the blue of yours.
That will look great - off the top of my head I can't recall the manufacture of the liner I purchased. It's pretty similar to that one. I'm sure you will be very pleased with that pattern.
