Excellent work and for 5k I think they ALOT! I'm not sure how much decks go for but that looks like it would have cost way more than that.....again good work.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif :D //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

they were gheys? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

 
Thanks guys, well I got 5k my ( helper ) hehe, got 1k , but if theres anyone in construction they know that a deck like that is nearly impossible to do quick, but yes I only charged them $50/hr for both of us, it might sound high to some but alot of there other estimates were for 60+ / hr with more guys... But i just came off my carpenters apprentice and am currently unemployed.. ( laid off ) So side jobs are my only income at this point..

 
duluth looks like that this time of year?
Nope it sure doesnt.. This was down by eau claire wi, which was finished about a month and a half ago.... Due to the thread title .. FINALLY made my 5k .. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I'm sure he meant he actually made $5000 (labor cost only) but supplies were extra. The material alone most likely cost that much or more. Those support beams look to be 4x6's or 6x10's and there treated, not cheap.

Very nice work by the way. If you made all the railing, that is a nice custom touch.
