The next house project we decided to take on was rebuilding the back deck. It was not built properly and this summer we tried to put Wyatt's swimming pool on it. When we filled the pool all the way up, the joists cracked underneath the weight and the deck started to fall down. So this past week we rebuilt the deck. Here are some pictures of our progress.
Jeff taking out nails from the floor boards. There were a lot of nails so this part took longer than we expected.
Deck without floor boards.
The Emperor's new deck!
New Floor Joists With joist hangers so they won't crack and fall down.
Screwing in the floor boards
Spencer's favorite place to watch the building
Then on to painting the deck.

We still have to rebuild the stairs but they work for now.
