Its pretty amazing what some people can sit down and figure out what can be done. Imagin trying to build that the first time. UUUhhhg

It's always nice to see creativity in building. So many decks are cookie cutter decks.

Adrian,

Very interesting design. Not sure that 3 fasteners per joist was needed, with all the holes the middle looks like it was hit by a shotgun.

I trust you posted the wrong picture, and the wood shown was before you stripped and brightened.

No, it's the right pic. It's an after shot. It is approx. 17 years old and did the best I could with it. This builder is from the 80's and I have seen alot of their work around town. Some of the decks they built have not stood up that well over the years but are very cool in design.

It had a mystery stain on it from previous H.O. along with Oly clear seal on top of it.(can left in garage)
Had to do some color mixing w/RS ( a little med. brown mixed w/ dark brown) to match the arbor and post'. Customer was not the greatest to work with, but I managed. Personally knowing the efforts involved, I think it came out ok.

I will see if I can post a pic of the strip.

Sorry Adrian, I really thought the first picture was before stripping. If you look closely, the middle and left portions of the wood are green, thought it was mold or mildew.

Photos can be tricky.

No apologies needed.
I probably missed a spot, lol.
I'm surprised no one has commented on the "Cross" in the deck.
That's what catches my eye personally.
I guess I can only do so much resto to 17 y.o. wood anyway.

I saw the Holy Mother in some oatmeal the other day!!!!

Here's 350 L.Ft. of fence I did yesterday

Many woodies are pagans. Someone put a fish symbol on their website or business card jpeg and I personally had no idea what it meant. Does not really matter, I live in New Jersey and already experience hell on earth.

Eternity is nothing.

That customer gave me a good example of hell. LOL.
