Finally finished the spring project..... Well, my spring has been dominated by building a 30x20ft deck off the back of the house. Its built on 2x10 floor joists and support beams and all the exterior materials are composite. The decking is tongue and groove and looks and feels like natural cedar. It even has a grain to it that aids in wet traction and slip resistance.
Here's some pics...
As you can see, the house is getting the mod money these days, but at least I'm not worried about it breaking....

The best part of this project is the tools I 'needed' to purchase. I got a nice 12" double compound DeWalt miter saw as well as a table saw. Made the job a heck of a lot easier.
Thanks for the compliment guys.

Make sure to show us some pics of how those projects turn out also! I wish you lived next door to me! I would love to have a marble kitchen floor! Do you work for beer?

I could have spent the cash and paid someone to do these projects, but the satisfaction from learning and doing something yourself is so much more gratifying. When people come over, they are amazed at how nice the deck is, but shocked to find out that I did it myself which makes me feal really good. Two of my neighbors have already asked me to redo their decks since they were built with pressure treated lumber only. Talk about some MOD MONEY...
