Finally finished the deck project I started in June. 16x12 feet, pressure treated lumber, the whole thing. Did most of it myself with some help from my brother in law. It looks amazing but man my shoulders are wrecked. Worth it though, kids have been playing on it constantly. Now the wife wants a pergola. Help.
Pressure treated lumber on a 16x12 is a serious build. How long did the whole thing take you? I'm thinking about a similar project and trying to estimate the pain level.
That's a solid project man. Your back will thank you once it settles down. How are you feeling about it now that it's done?
Dude that's impressive, especially doing most of it yourself. As someone still figuring out how to function on six months of sleep, I have mad respect for that kind of dedication.
That's impressive work. Yeah the back pain is real but you're going to use that deck constantly now. Your family will thank you every summer.

16x12 is a legit size deck. Your back is going to hurt for a while but every time you step on that thing you'll feel the accomplishment. Worth it.
June to done is pretty fast for that size. The back pain is temporary but that deck is forever. You earned it.
