Building my deck this weekend
Yep, it's finally time. Post holes are dug, lumber being delivered today, start building tomorrow at 8am. Very excited about it. I'll post pics on Monday. Why did I post this? Fuck I don't know, bored at the moment I guess.

No Ipe Green, thought of it but no go. Going with Wolmanized. Have gotten excellent advice on finishing it to look like cedar and have personally seen the results. Very impressive and the deck I saw was 7 years old.
Vincent, no nails here either. Screws and bolts only.

It is irrigation drip system this weekend. I really like the home projects. The deck sounds like fun.

Doods, home projects are like work to me. Don't wanna do it. I mean I DO, but, I'd rather ride.
Just mowing the yard is like pulling teeth with me.
All I wanna do is go zoom zoom zoom on the 12.
Oh, and boom boom boom in my room. As long as I have lipstick on my hand. That's really a plus.
