Deck Remodel – Thursday (day 8)
Sorry if anyone had trouble getting to the site. This evening I ended up moving it to a regular hosting site as the free one just wasn’t up a lot of the time and I got a little tired of dealing with it and not being able to publish a post until their server(?) was back up.
I did manage to get one more post in today. The footing I poured yesterday had set up nicely. I trimmed off the excess re-bar pin and moved another 6×6 into place, made sure all was level, drilled the holes for the carriage bolts, and got it snugged down. I noted the wood really perspired a lot of moisture around the washers when I tightened the nuts… that accounts for a majority of the weight.
