this time (as opposed to the old deck);

• the ledger is flashed and lagged into every [house] joist, hangars were used


• solid (glue lam?) 30'-ish beam


• deck joists hurricane strapp-ed to the beam

• went with messmer's natural to stain the doug fir

still have to head off and install the stairs, we have about 600sqft of IPE waiting ...

don't mind the big ugly house or the mess in the work area
