fideliuscharm Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I always love to see how different areas do things differently, here for example, steel is only used for high end maintenance free long life decks, and typically is used for both posts and framing. Also due to frost, our footings need to be 48" deep, in some cases, that requires two separate pours, footing then pillar. How deep are yours? Also - looking at the roof, I notice that the outer-most rafter is missing - I'm guessing they're waiting to put the fascia board up before installing it. it looks really great! cant wait to see it when its all done.

DailyDi Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 The footings are a foot deep. The steel supports are there so we can eventually turn that into a sunroom, with a lower exposed deck holding a hot tub and BBQ The front of the roof will be closed in with a vent in the middle. They are currently ripping out the floor of the den, and the mold and mildew smell is chasing me out for a while as I can't breathe. be back later Link to comment

The dizziness and general lousy feeling on occasion. I know mold spores (especially black mold) is considered a bio hazard, so I am wondering if you might be feeling quite a bit better when the construction is done and the mold is gone....might be worth monitoring Link to comment
DailyDi Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yep, mold is a big allergy of mine, we're working to eliminate all the bad areas. These guys do GREAT work, everything they do looks fantastic. Link to comment

Oh yeah, and the barbieclue doesn't sound bad either Oh yeah, and by the way, I will recommend that don't spend all your money on that mold problem just yeat, it might be a good idea to wait till after you have had 20,255 more or less damp babieclueguests inside the house at the same time.

DL88 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 You might want to take a look at that ground, it's uneven. Link to comment
rusty pins Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Months away? A friend of mine actually built most of a deck when he bought his house, got married 4 years later, didn't finish his deck until his oldest kid graduated from high school! Better hurry up and get married so you can have kids and finish your deck when they graduate! Link to comment
DailyDi Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 You might want to take a look at that ground, it's uneven. Yep, its on the list. House was built on uneven land. In the crawl space the left side is 5 feet tall, the right side 8 inches. Link to comment

diaperpt Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 First first thought when I saw the title was "I almost have a deck too. People say I'm a few cards short, though." Link to comment

PArms Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Lol! Have a lot more than just the deck going on is why it won't be party time for a while. But at least you've admitted to hosting a party. We'll be over for 4th of July. Link to comment
