Scrap Wood Table – All done
Scrap Wood Project – a little table
Made from leftover stair treads. I cut them down to 1″ x 1″ sticks and glued them together until they looked like a table.

A little light humor.
Just Add Stairs
Oh, I don’t know, the Parkour Method of getting up on the deck helps keep me in shape.
Progress
For three weekends, this was my life. A drill, a driver, a bucket of screws, a clamp, a screw template, two spacers, and a towel to kneel on. And a cat. Always a cat.
20′ Deck Planks
Each plank of decking was 20 feet long. They’re made out of a composite of wood fiber and plastic, and the longer they sit in the sun the more bendy they are. Imagine carrying a spaghetti noodle that weighs about 70 pounds. You get the picture. Just getting them into the shop so I could chop them to length was a challenge. It wasn’t until the deck was almost done that I realized I could have probably just set up my saw outside near the planks.
Saying Goodbye to the Old Deck
It wasn’t hard.
Now we’re cooking with grease!
Composite deck planks are finally going down. It’s not the easy part, but finally get a little satisfaction of seeing what the finished deck may look like. That’s almost enough to walk on up there!
Joist Tape
It’s partly a waterproof barrier to help prevent wood rot, and it’s partly there to hold the deck together in case the nails and fasteners fail. Can’t go wrong.
