Deck Footings are In

10/18/2014

We had almost four inches of rain on Monday-Tuesday so the footings were delayed several days.

We poured the footings on Friday. The footings step down the slope about three feet. We will let the footings cure for a few days and pour the retaining walls next week.

I love concrete. It arrives in a giant bucket on a truck. It conforms to any shape you can imagine. And it lasts forever. All this from 2,000 year old technology discovered in the age of the Roman Empire.

Starting the Deck

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. We finally have all the details on the deck worked out and started construction yesterday. We hope to wrap this up by the end of the month!

The deck project is a bit complicated. The slope requires some substantial concrete footings and we decided to construct the deck itself with square tubular steel columns and steel I-beams because of the height.

In a few weeks it will look like this... and we'll be able to watch sunsets from the deck!
