I knew I would struggle with this portion of the deck build by myself, but I knew it would be possible to accomplish, therefore I wanted to go ahead and get it done. It wasn't a simple straightforward thing as I was dealing with crooked and un-square 'things' (as I don't know what else to call them). I pretty much knew I would only be able to do my best and make it look as visually appealing as possible, and after some tweaking, I think I managed to make it look pretty decent.
Some videos I cut out a lot of my thought process, and some videos I keep more of it in, and that is the case for this video. I didn't want to make it look like I just put it together no problem, or if it came out horribly, I had no way of explaining why. haha. I think it's so important to find ways around the obstacles and challenges that come up, and there were quite a few for me this time around and I wanted to share how I made my decisions in those instances. In the end, I have a deck that looks 'relatively proper', for lack of a better term. 😉 I am really happy with how it turned out in the end even though the whole front deck boards are basically hiding the entire structures imperfections. (they start out at one end in line with the front deck rim joist, and by the time I was done, there's about a 2" overhang 🤷🏻♀️).
I'm one step closer, and now I have a pretty safe work site for the remainder of the build. AND I have more square footage of flat, comfortable walking surfaces!!! yayyyy!! 😬
I think the next thing to tackle is the insulation, strapping, windows side of things.
Maybe here, maybe there, or maybe everywhere! One way or another I will see you again soon in the next video! 😊
