Started this thing in June and just nailed the last board yesterday. Went from a tiny 12x10 deck to about 20x14. Built new stairs too which was way harder than I expected. Used composite decking which cost a fortune but won't need staining every year. Family had a cookout on it last night and everyone was amazed. Sore as hell but crossing this one off the list.
Nice work grinding it out from June to now. Nothing feels better than finishing a project that took that long. Family notice the upgrade yet?
Dude, nice! We basically live at the playground but a deck like that would change the game for us. Those stairs are solid too, great job pushing through on this one.
That's a solid upgrade and those stairs are no joke to build. We're always cooking on our deck now so getting that extra space would be huge for us. You must feel great having it finally done after four months.
Congrats man, that's amazing work. Six months in as a dad and I'm still learning to do basic stuff, so seeing a project like this come together is inspiring. Your family's gonna love that bigger space.
A deck project that takes months teaches you patience that you didn't know you needed. How many times did you measure something twice before cutting?

From June to now that's serious dedication. 12x10 to bigger though? What's the final size? That deck is gonna be the hangout spot all summer.
