Here is a project I went out on in the beginning of May. These pics have been sitting on my camera. Thought I'd post them to give Mr Dinos a run for the money. The deck wouldn't fit into one picture unless I stood about a hundred feet away.

Prepped (we did sand off the bird poop):

Ken, Nice job man. Need you to start doing about 1 of those a week.
Does this mean the competion has started? Nagh, I'm just giving you a hard time

Hey I'm not trying to steal your thread, but this one deck from from last week. This is how I try to capture the bigger decks. The tree on the left hides a few hundred square feet and you still can't see the deck on the right side of the house. Right now I'm doing about 1 deck a week this size, the guys do all the other little decks on other days.

I do maybe one of these big ipe's per month if I'm lucky Paul. Other decks that size more often, but not hardwoods. Mostly cedar (yuck). I do have another one this week that is smaller but higher off the ground. I think the floor has 1100 s/f but the spindles and caps are also ipe. I don't see that often. Most of them have the Dekorator spindles llike this one.

I ran out of real estate on this one to back up and take the pic. I would have had to go into the creek and paddled out LOL. (or climbed a tree)

Paul,

Another thing re: the support posts. On this particular job they did not want to spend the money to stain them (was an extra $450). About half of the people that have elevated decks don't want them done. It could because they want us to do the deck but just don't want to spend any more than they have to. I know you and I are priced similarly. Do you run into this issue and what do you say to overcome this objection?

Ken,
I don't seperate it out. I sell on "this price covers it all."
Give me a call and we can discuss in more detail.
