Deck Demo!

Will and I knew the fall would probably be the best time to tear down and rebuild the deck. The cooler weather was going to be a lot better for the workers (i.e. Not me), and with as busy a summer as we had, we figured the fall would be better scheduling wise, right?

Sure, we aren't busy at all! But, demo has begun, so we slowly but surely get this deck project under way. 

Below are some before pictures:



Upper section


The whole reason this project started in the first place. Dang tree limb...


Lower section


Whole deck for the last time!


The lower section was apparently pretty easy to get up. A lot of the wood was rotting from sitting straight on the ground, so we won't rebuild it that way. Will did find a stamp on the underside of a board that said 1982, which I thought was super cool!


Measuring out our new deck plans!


By now, there is a system working. Jigsaw, then pry up boards. Repeat until entire deck is disassembled. 


Next section done!


My handyman with his power tools!


Deck boards off! Now, to work out our final plans for the deck, get some wood, and start replacing the joists and framing out the new part of the deck!
