You need to get away from builders. Ain't no one making money working at the bottom of the food chain.

24x24 deck gees thats $3960 canadian in materials alone for a broke ass friend ill do it for $1000 labour but then again why would a broke ass friend want such a big deck ??? weird oh and a 24x24 can be built in 4 days i can do it, full square deck but will have 3 total working on it

day one dig and set after that start framing with temp beam
day 2 finish framing
day 3 start boarding with 2 guys and 1 cutting off the ends of boards to make them flush, what i do to speed up the method of boarding is shoot down the boards with a finishing nailer (PT/Ceadar i do not gap that will take to long) then i come back with a chalk line and snap on all the joices then hammer and screws and tap in the whole deck now 3 people with drills will take easily 3hrs
day 4 the easy part

oh another thing, as on the topic of building for friends, i been in business for 3 years and the one thing i learned there is no friends, subconsciously people get jealous and think your all rich and you can do things for free or pay for free i have lost all my so call friends because of my business and i am very happy that my eyes have opened up.........now the only person i talk to wants 2 baths Reno and he wants to sell his condo after its done but only has $1000 for labour i told him ill do it but am worried he wont pay and 2 bathrooms is about $8000 labour
