ENDelt's deck thread - Page 17

ENDelt260 · 04-19-2005, 06:55 PM

One of my favorite things about my condo is my big deck. Unfortunately, my deck's kinda ****ed up. I knew it was ****ed up when I bought the joint, but I've never gotten around to doing anything about it. I'm finally taking care of that now. Over the next couple weeks I'm getting bids on getting work done on it. I figured I should put my digital camera to good use and document the transformation.

An added benefit of sharing the pics here is some of you fellers that like to build stuff and know all about that might pipe up from time to time and say, "Hey, you should do this." Or, "Holy smokes, you dipshit. I can't believe you did that."

I find the deck kinda hard to explain to folks who have never seen it. Hopefully these pics make it easier to understand what my situation is. If I can provide a better picture or description of something, let me know.

Wow, that first night shot came out awesome. I'll never take another picture that pretty in my life.

An extra bonus I noticed today (because, prior to today there was a tent outside preventing this effect)... those lattices are redwood, and have the same stain on them as the deck. When the setting sun (the deck is on the westside) the light comes through my "freedom" doors and gives my living room a pretty reddish glow.

You should certainly be able to harpoon some whales up there bro!
In all seriousness...looks kick ass. Phil did some great work.

ENDelt260 · 06-04-2005, 10:45 PM

Forgot to hang up the most important piece before taking pics.

A side by side before/after shot. REALLY shows just how much work (and how good) Phil did.

Another guinea pig shot. Phil wanted some good night shots, so I'm figuring out using the night settings on my digi camera. No flash... leaving the shutter open longer. The deck's pretty as hell at night.

.EDIT: wrong pic... obviously.

I especially like the grill and counter. I think the three levels given your proclivity for drunkeness, though it looks great, could be dangerous as hell.

Nice work by Phil and I think Endo made a smart investment of his money.

This picture could qualify for the Sales Brochure to the Condo community. Great Job on the Deck, very nice.

Outstanding job, Phil! I'm quite jealous!

The pattern must be playing tricks on your eyes. There's only two levels.
