Had to replank the back deck today.

thats funny, I coulda swore you didn't mind the wood in your mouth?

i dunno that handy diff shipping setup you built was pretty cool, altho it took me forever to take the thing out cause i didnt feel like getting a power screwdriver out.



kevin.

did it arrive in one piece?

Blind nailed is nice, blind screwed is better, blind screwed trex is forever..

Unfortunately these clips are designed for nails

I like working with wood.



Disclaimer: I know you guys will instantly commence with the gay wood jokes.

I would recommend building/ borrowing, some dip tanks/troughs, and soaking the material, picketts and all in a mid-grade sealer for at least a week after all the cuts are made and such. Let the sealer penetrate really good, it will last much longer.



It's probably already installed though...

Kind of hard to do that, especially since the boards are not trimmed until AFTER thay are installed

What's the fun in building something simple when it can be made into a hollywood production and take twice as long, lol



It can be done, architects have spec'd it for us to do in the past, carpenters usually just pull thier hair out 'cause they miss it in the specs.



I did it at my house with the mohogany, major pain in the ass but 8 years and counting of low maintenance use, just dust mop or hose and dry once a week.

anazngly it did, except the driveshaft side, the wood in front of the metal bracket got smashed and cracked upward, and some fresh scrape marks on the bottom of the housing.



other then that it was perfect.

In the spirit of the gay humor that goes on around this place (but not generally the humour I use)





Then stop taking viagra.

hah !

i'm a bit of a handyman myself

I dont give a **** about wood, I'm not a chemist.
