That should tell you something, right there. If it was a cakewalk, they would have grabbed it.
Replies 49I built a lot of decks back in the day with deck to wall spacers and ledgerloks. All these projects were solid wood sidings or T1-11. In most cases, it saved having to tear ba...
Replies 32Having done a couple of public works projects in the past, I'm not sure if they were worth the extra paperwork and meetings required. Any deviations took a week and endless mee...
Replies 49Having installed a few cable railing projects in a past life, your governing limitation on post spacing will be the cable. Thicker cables will span farther with a big increase ...
Replies 16First off, I never wore flip flops to a job site, never. Sandals yes, a lot. Pioneer is on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada's. Population of around 1,100. I'm at 3500'...
Replies 9I'm doing OK. After looking through this thread, I started to miss some of the excitement and challenge of those big hillside decks. It's been 4 years since I tackled one of t...
Replies 528So how big is that deck going to be and how high off the ground. It looks so small compared to the one's I used to build. JK:whistling

Replies 9I can't say enough about the Imer Minuteman mixer. I've mixed thousands of bags in it. The wheelbarrow mixers look cool, but in reality I don't think they work as well as you w...
Replies 40The big question, especially since he is somewhat new to the trade, did he make a solid profit? Looks great by the way.

Replies 52Here is a decent article on staining a deck. He does mention using a pressure washer.
Replies 75Ethan mentioned the threaded rod technique, which I think works well. I would carry the post down as far as you can and bolt through to whatever you can.
Replies 14I think that Barri needs a new pressure washer. If I hold my tip within 6" of a redwood deck, I'll tear it up. 12" min. with a green tip.
Replies 75The change to a 42" railing sucks. I've been liquidating my old stock and I have 100 or so 32" black balusters that I can't get rid of. 36" ones were gone in a day. We also us...
Replies 64I still use the cleaners and hard bristle brush and use the pressure washer as the final step. My final step is to rinse. Is there something I'm not seeing here? It's been mild...
Replies 75Okay, I went back through the posts and numerous times I said that I use the PW to rinse the deck, not to clean it. I don't destroy decks with a PW, that's just not me. Now you...
Replies 75Inexperienced with cleaning a deck with a pressure washer it seems. How do you explain that I and many others on here can manage it without issue but a few cant. That tells me t...
Replies 75Okay, my point is, you cannot properly clean a softwood deck with a pressure washer only, especially a older deck. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.:whistling Do you ever ...
Replies 75You said that it don't leave the material as smooth as a baby's butt. I'm guessing that means you damaged/roughed up the material. That can only be blamed on one thing. Inexperi...
