prep school

7/19/2012

I've spent some prep time in the shop, I made up the stand offs (concrete filled pvc spacers), Pre cut the pvc Skirt board that will attach to the house and the first piece of the deck frame that will bolt to the house with the stand offs between it and the skirt board.

The other components that I'm able to pre cut are the rail posts, These need to be installed as we assemble the deck frame.
Notice the variety of different cuts.This is were drawing things out in Cad ( computer aided design) really helps.

Previously I have made up the support posts (steel), Primmed and painted them and have installed 3 of the five that will be needed.
Here is a shot of the top of one of the 45 degree corner posts.

The on site work starts this weekend, While the masons and the landscaping crew are out of the way. It's not that I don't like these guy's they just get in the way and I'm sure I'll be in there way.

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.
