I put it off for four years: project now complete

Absolutely true: Just because I know how to do it, doesn't mean I want to do it !

It worked for 12 years at our house. Then my friend called. She did get her grand new bathroom. After demo I went to Montana to shoot prairie dogs. I missed 10 days of construction agony, but got 5 days of "Demo Delight".

Looks like Mrs. Faulkner has "decked" it out quite nicely.

I'm gonna suggest that you put a salt lick down by the tree/fence line and then set up a little bench rest and see what happens.

That is impressive!
Just saw this thread and all I can say is wow, beautiful deck and property.

Like minds think alike . . . I have a PVC feeder hanging from a hickory tree at the fence line behind the house. From the deck it's about 120 yards straight shot. There's a strand broken on the fence by the feeder that I've not repaired in a couple of years that the deer duck under and walk right up to the feeder. I've never shot one from the old deck, but I have taken a couple near the fence line standing in the doorway of my shop.

That, Mr. Faulkner, is what I call a sho'-nuff deck. Apparently, some a y'all really like a fancy deck. Some awesome designs and features in this thread. I am SO glad my wife doesn't read this board! If I ever had to build a deck like some in this thread I'd wait a dang site longer that 4 years to do it.

Shot a nice Buck in Mississippi years back from my buddy's car port across the picknick table with a cup of coffee nearby while sitting in my drawers. Adterwards, took the front end loadeer and crossed the field to pick it up. That was the same weekend that my buddy ran over that turkey on the logging road and jumped out and shot it with his Hi Power. That bird made a nice mount

Faulk-

You always have the coolest threads.

That deck is awesome.

Great thread and great job on the deck. I had the same project (pool removal/new deck) about 7 years ago. Took the Amish 2 weeks! I watched them from the kitchen while they worked away in their bare feet smoking home rolled and joking with each other in a language I didn't understand. I went with Azek instead of Trex, same basic idea. No pergola though.

Tell me about the lights on/under/around the railing caps, solar?

They are 4-in x 4-in Black Solar LED Deck Post Caps that just set on top of the 4x4 posts and screw into place. I believe we bought these at Lowe's.

I've been impressed in that they come on at dusk and stay on all night long and shut off at dawn.
