Scary Cabin

The front deck structure is coming along nicely. There’s nothing really magical about building a deck, just a lot of measure, cut, nail. Lots of nailing.

Since we’re using composite decking, the structure needs to be more ridged to prevent bouncing. Thus we’re taking the approach that there’s no such thing as overbuilding. Everything is nice and beefy with lots of joists, did I mention lots of joists? Hammering in all those joist hangers and hurricane ties gave the new palm nailer a good workout. It also gave our ears a good workout, it is kind of annoyingly loud.
