Finally finished building the deck. Only took me 6 weekends.

Started this thing back in March thinking I'd knock it out in 2 weekends. Rain, wrong materials showing up, me realizing I don't know what I'm doing halfway through. But we grilled on it yesterday and the kids played cornhole on it today so it was worth every blister and curse word. Already planning how to build the pergola next year even though my wife is giving me that look.

That's awesome you finished it though. March to now is a long grind with four kids and work. I can't imagine finding six full weekends. How are the kids using it now?

Worth every weekend though, right? Nothing beats having a finished project that the whole family gets to enjoy. I'm still working on mine so I'm taking notes on your timeline.

Six weekends for a deck is solid honestly. I started a backyard project thinking it'd be quick and learned real fast that home improvement always takes longer. The wrong materials thing has killed me so many times at Home Depot.
