Well, it doesn't exist yet. I'm writing this late in the planning stage. I've been thinking about this deck since we bought our house a couple years ago. Probably planning off an on for 6 months... not steadily mind you, just a little at a time.
Who am I? Nobody really. Just a homeowner in California. I'm not a contractor, or carpenter, or anything special. Just a guy in his early 40's who thinks he can build a deck.
Why this blog?
Well, in part it's for me. I want to capture my thoughts on different design points... free-standing or attached? flush or stacked joists? post cap or notched posts?
The other part, it to share. I already posted reviews on youtube, and think I could capture some of my experiences there. But that lacks continuity. I'd like others who are thinking they could build a deck to share in my thought process. Maybe it will help someone?
