A few days later, my brother came over to help me mount the ledger board.
As you can see here, we don’t believe in saw horses.
This part of the job only took about an hour (minus the 30 min to go back to his house for tools, and the hour and a half getting stuff at Home Depot).
I had the wood delivered for the frame, but they couldn’t get it around back, so I had to carry it there by hand.
Just starting to build the frame here, but had the wrong blade for the reciprocating saw.
It turns out we also had the wrong length 2x10s….
So as Mathew is happy to show, we got longer ones (as well as the right blade for the saw).
Now cutting the boards is a little easier.
At this point, we’re half way there and have developed a system.
Kelli being the first to test the makeshift “redneck deck”.
