Built at deck at my son's house in New Orleans

[TR6BILL]

My son and I just finished building a double deck in the backyard of his home in the Irish Channel, New Orleans. He needed a better back door instead of the small opening from his lower storage room. The railings will be installed Wednesday by a pro, a little out of my league. All built out of kiln-dried grade 1 treated pine and heavy-duty Simpson hangers plus hot-dipped galvanized bolts and steel plates. It ain't going nowhere.....

Good job! One of the first things we did after buying our house was to put a deck on top of the old, cracked concrete patio in the back of the house.

Yeah, cut my teeth with a cabinet maker. I hate wood, tho. Gimme STEEL and GFRP.

So far, so good.

But I suspect my Italian progenitors are rotatin' at 3500 RPM with th' methods I've resorted to:

Glass fiber reinforcement, concrete "backer board", tile in "sheets" instead of hand laid...

"Kids."

Lazy bastages!

They'd have done it in terrazo.

 

[DNK]

still gotta get your hands dirty though, nothin changes that.
