Another load of deck building materials is delivered in our driveway. Amáda and I begin adding the first joists to the deck framing.
Month: June 2016
Adding joists to the deck framing
Amáda and I continue adding joists to the deck framing.
Angled bracing added to deck framing
We add more joists, square up the framing, and add lots of angled bracing to our free-standing deck.
More joists
We add some more joists in the last few hours of daylight.
Joists and blocks finished
Amáda and I work together to install the remaining joists and all of the staggered blocking along the center beam.
Deck framing finished and passes inspection
We complete all of the deck framing, including joist ties and the staircase framing. The city building inspector signs-off on the framing.
