10x16 Deck! Wow! Crazy!

Another project at Maw& Paw in-law!
Small deck 10 x 16
Material alone was $4000!
The stuff was so freaking heavy, soaking wet with saturation from being treated!!
Took 3 days to remove & rebuild!

Well, you know when you get older, you work slower and you’re older. Everything is heavier.. LOL

OMG !! What the heck happened to the original one ?? Just got old and rotted ? (Just curious)
New one looks great ! Good job, i know you will enjoy that one for a good long time !!
Give it a couple of weeks to dry out and then treat it with some good sealant, like Thompsons or something …… it will last a good long time that way.

Mother and father-in-law had all kinds of stuff stored on the deck, so the water just sat there on the deck, and it was poorly built to begin with

You did offer one time, but I was shy so I refused

I worked for a building supply when I was in college. The pressure treated was arsenic and it lasted for decades.

Now not so much.
