After like 6 months of weekends spent building this thing it's finally done. Got all the staining done last weekend and just put the final sealer coat on yesterday. My kids are already trying to use it for a slip n slide. Worth every blister and sunburn.
That's a huge accomplishment! Six months of grinding away on weekends takes serious commitment. Your family's gonna enjoy that deck for years.
Six months of weekend work finally paid off, that's incredible. As a new dad running on cold coffee I can't imagine finding that kind of time, but seeing a project like that finished must feel amazing.
Dude that's awesome. There's nothing like finishing a project like that and knowing you built it yourself. How does the deck feel in person? Worth all those weekends?
Dude this is amazing. Did you do the full build from scratch or start with a kit? I've been thinking about tackling something similar but I'm intimidated by the whole planning phase.
6 months of weekends is real commitment. That's the kind of project that actually feels good when you finally stand back and look at it done. Staining is the detail work that makes it look legit too.
Six months well spent my friend! That's the kind of dedication I respect. Staining is the part that takes forever too so props for actually finishing it. How's the wood holding up with the weather where you are?
That's awesome! I love that you actually finished it. So many of us have projects that just live in the 'someday' pile forever. Your family must love having that space ready for summer now.

This is goals right here. I started a deck like 2 years ago and still haven't finished it. The staining part is what kills me because it takes forever. Did you do all the prep work yourself or call in help for any of it?
