Finally made my $5000 in 1 month ;)

if gheys = snobs ... yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
the part that gets me is that there are multiple men living in the same home...

but dude... i'd LOVE to be able to build something like that...

 
looks good decks can be a pain, but generally speaking they are fairly easy. how did you attach it to the house? please tell me that you did leave the 1/2" gap between the rim board and the house and then lag bolted it in or better yet all threaded it in threw the house and tied it into the floor joist of the house(the best way) and yeah i am starting a construction company thats why i knew all that.

Theres a 1/4 spacer on the rim joist, w/ flashing... There is nothing getting behind this deck //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif .. as for attaching it to the house ( via ledger ) just 2x8 treated and 3/8 lags every other off 16 On center

 
shouldnt there be some x braces in there somewhere? once you get 150 people up there its gonna want to move left or right???
so on a 40 foot deck with 3000 lineal ft of decking off 2 screws per every 16 inches , u thing a deck is gonna sway?? aparently you have never built anything structural
