I’m close to finishing the framing for my deck:
I have two joists left to install along with all the blocking between the joists. I didn’t get as much done last week as I wanted as I had a very busy week with various commitments with church. That and the weather didn’t cooperate as much as I wanted with some very hot afternoons that kept me indoors. This week is looking better — both schedule and weather — and I hope to finish the deck frame in a few days.
Then it will be onto putting the deck boards down. Well, right after I buy and get the deck boards delivered. Turns out the decking I want is special order and I’m still working that purchasing project.
That’s it for this week, if you need me I’m on the phone to lumberyards.

I assume the finish work is relatively “fun” for a guy like you compared to the joists and blocking underneath. Hope that shipment of boards gets there soon!

Well, more fun than heaving around 20 ft 2×6 on my chop saw. They just told me I’ll those boards next week.

I do seem to be ambitious. Sometimes I don’t feel ambitious, but it does look like it.

It is going to be wonderful. Hopefully, the hardest part is done. 🙂

Most of the really heavy lifting is done. I do have a couple of tricky things left with all the blocking, but that just work, not hard work.

Looks like you might actually have everything done before the snow flies. Been quite a busy year for you.
