project deck...take two...

So last year we build a deck and a roof for that deck. You can read all about that here! Problem was, there was NO slope to the awning. It leaked, everywhere, all year. So this year my Dad and Jason hatched a plan to fix it. My Dad says that if this doesn't work we're on our own next year ;-) Heehee.

The plan worked (so far)! What they did was they removed 4 inches, or so, from the posts to give the roof the slope it needs. Thing was, they sure didn't want to take down all the 2x6's that held that roof up because that would be a LOT of work!! Solution...

Use car 4x4's on two car jacks to hold the roof up while you cut off the posts. WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!

This is all the garbage we created from pulling up all the old products. Looks like we'll get to use my Dad's new trailer soon :)

We were afraid the wood would have wood rot so we replaced all the plywood.

This was all on a Sunday...more tomorrow :)
