So deck is done, but my body is so broken, I don't have energy to use it. Did the whole thing solo.
I sketched it out, made my materials checklist, and off to Lowes I went.
The plan was to frame it with 2x6x8' pressure treated, but apparently Lowes had the rack mislabeled, and I was too distracted to notice.
I brought all the lumber home, and began construction. After sliding the first 4x8 section aside, and wondering why the heck it was so heavy, I then noticed I was using 2x8x8's. Ugh. Rather than bring it all back and scrap the one section I already made, I decided to keep going.
After completing all six sections, I then realized stacked they would be taller than my pickup cab, plus I had no idea how I would get the top ones that high, each must have weighed 150lbs. So it took two trips to get all six down to the campground an hour away.
Anyway, I spent the last two days building the most over-built deck in the campground. Built like a brick s-house. This deck scoffs at hurricane winds, it rolls its eyes at flood waters, it yawns at 20 people partying on it.
To give me proper headroom to the awning edge, I had to dig and bury the one end in the (heavy, rock filled) dirt, but everything is now lined up, level, and bolted together. I built steps into the camper a little long so shoes can be stored to the left.
Looking forward to relaxing on it this summer.
