Week 5? connecting the boards


So, this week we used screws and put down the planks of the deck. The difficult part was that we wanted to use these beautiful, thick, long, redwood planks that unfortunately weren't uniform.

We found a piece of pipe on the property and it worked great, and then Tys came up with the idea of using chain to get the last bit done.




















Melissa did a great job of finding the right board to go next to the right board.

















Here they are, all screwed down and ready to sand and treat:
