They delivered the materials for the deck yesterday. They mixed up some of the order, but I'm not going to complain. I ordered treated redwood decking, and they deliverd Redwood composite decking. I priced the composite stuff, and it was almost $1000.00 more. I won't be returning it. Someone also threw in a 14' treated 4 X 6 that doesn't appear on the manifest.
I am taking off next week to build the deck, but I may get started tonight. I need to remember to take pictures as I go along.
Saturday we are going with Morning Light to jail for a concert. That is always a lot of work, and a lot of fun, and a long day. I'll try to remember to take the camera. I am hoping R. will go with us. They have a lot of resources for recovering drug addicts and alcoholics. But you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

Wow! I didn't know they sold redwood up here, even as a composite. I built everything out of redwood when I lived in California... decks, fences, furniture, coffins... uh, back up one step. Make that packing crates.
It's a pretty wood, but I prefer good red cedar, if given a choice. Of course there isn't any of THAT around any more unless you can salvage it out of an old building or something.

You typed a mouthful there! Believe me, I know!
Good luck on the deck...I'm sure it's going to be gorgeous!
I think I'll do a day-by-day shot of the new deck as it goes up.
