Still have the stairs to do, add some brackets to the main beam...but at least I can now use my patio door off the main floor (a year and a bit later :rolleyes: )

Hey Nate, don't look now but some asshole built his deck over your walkout. :o :unsure:

:lol: :lol:

kind of funny you mentioned that. I told the builder to put the door on the other side, they said No I didnt, I said, go check the plans.

I was right, but it was to late. They gave us a $200 coupon for Leons furniture to make it better. Ah well. I like it better there anyways....gives a nice shaded area in a backyard that gets a whole bunch of sun.

Screw stairs, do a funhappy slide or a fire pole! :lol:

My father

"Whats wrong with ladders?" :ph34r:

A Renovatin I Go To! - FocusGuy7476 - 08-21-2007

ladders are just just really steep stairs.

A Renovatin I Go To! - hardk0re - 08-21-2007

I vote fire pole!

Great all this home renovation posts, my wife is going to get on me about what to do with the back yard!

Question: did the builder put up the fences for you?

A Renovatin I Go To! - Flofocus - 08-21-2007

I did the fence with some freinds the 1st month I moved in last year.

A Renovatin I Go To! - dBlast - 08-21-2007

My kids actually wanted the slide (as well as the stairs) when I built my deck.

I couldn't tell them that it was impossible because we often pass by this house in King City that has a huge slide beside the stairs of the deck. They already had a slide on the playground set that I built, so I told them 1 slide per backyard only!

Took us 4 days to do 130 feet of fence. thats going down 3-3.5 feet for each post.

Oh, and it was all rock. We used a jackhammer instead of a shovel. :angry: It sucked.

If you dont have rock like we did, it isnt hard building a fence. Get the proper post levels, and right tools and you should be good to go.

do like your neighbours and build a swimming pool off the side of the deck as well as some stairs... then you have 2 ways of getting down.. a wet and dry option...

I was going to check with him on the idea of a 'boardwalk' going right to his pool. :lol:

A Renovatin I Go To! - Oscar The Grouch - 08-21-2007

OMG even better idea...

No, down the side where there is left over 'frame'. It will come down beside the window
