DECK THE HALLS.

4/17/2012

0 Comments

 
The weather was cooperative and I was able to make some good progress on our deck this past week.
Picture
I had the materials delivered and using the drawing I did in sketch-up, I was able to pre cut all my parts. This shot shows a jig I made to put a dado in the ledger that mounts to the wall of the house. This dado accepts the joists for the deck frame.

This is the Stand off deck mounting system (DAJ'S DECK MOUNTING SYSTEM . INGENUITY) I've been using for a few years now and seams to work very well. I start with a piece of 3" pvc pipe and a piece of 1\2' pipe, I make a jig to hold the 1/2" pipe in the center of the 3" and pour concrete in the 3" pipe. Then I drill a hole that (fits the 3"pipe) through the siding and I'll lag bolt the deck ledger through this stand off into the framing of the house. Note that I bed the stand off in urethane caulking to seal out any water as I install the system.

This was at the end of day one!
Kim assisted me with the two long outside pieces (what a trouper!)

Picture
End of Day two!  Joists in place, support for post dug in, concrete poured and a granite block set up to grade, cut and tappering the support post.

Stay tunned for more thrilling action!!!!!!

    I've pretty much had my hands on wood for the most part of my Life. Started in High school, on Marthas Vineyard Mass.Worked under a Father and son Partnership that taught me the valuable foundation of what High End work really is.
    I've taken those fundimentals and put my own spin on things. Today (some 36 years ago as I write this )My shop is located in Northern New Hampshire, where I have followed my philosophy of doing high quality work and delivering more than the
    customer expects.
