than "we think" ?? hmmm lol... but in skip's defense, he pulled that from another thread where i set myself up -- big time. no worries.

yes, and your point? ;) as for phil... he knows who's boss.

yes, i'm seriously funny. seriously.

and my point is that he knows that you know!!!!

So, you got any more deck pics? Or did they steal your camera, too?

I just read this entire thread, and can honestly say WOW!
Phibia, your defiantly a skilled craftsman.

Many is the time I’m in doing high end interior refinishing reno’s on $500,000 homes and literally watched the external reno’s like you’ve done go sour real fast.
This is incredible work IMO.
The lumber pattern really gives it a “desert” type look, and the use of the lattes gives the appearance of cut off from the main door thus creating more of a separate room, as opposed to “just a deck”.

And I’ll bet I can safely say the pic’s don’t do it justice.
Not too shabby a reno to have on your resume’ sir. Not shabby at all!
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Yeah, Pink is definately the brains running the show. Belee Dat! :)

This deck job has turned into the movie The Money Pit.

"How long until you guys are done?"


"Two weeks."

That's really badass.

I've never seen a deck like that. Are those alternating 2x6s and 2x4s?

Looking good, are you going to have the Stucco redone?

Yeah. Unique, huh?

It's nearly finished. We redid that entire wall. Just have to put a final coat on it.

Yes. Very nice.

What type of wood is that? If it's cedar, what did you use to get the grain to pop like that?

Most of the wall looks done, except on the left next to the cabinet just below the grill.

Oh - that will be covered by tile anyway. The grey you see is where some tile thinset slopped off the trowel. We need to touch up the color all over that wall anyway.
