We have also made some good progress on the holes for the decking. We holes for the front deck have been completed, and I am presently digging the holes for the rear deck... Thinking it might be easier to hire a digger to do this with....We are digging at most 16 holes a day...which is fine, but I have another 32 to go!!
When building the deck, its fine to have plans on how to build it, but I have found that when working onsite, things often work out a little different. I have found that the timber length is an important factor to take into account, and to a large extent, this guides where the holes will go. We are leaving around 80cm between the joists and roughly 1 metre between the support posts. A couple of tricky areas as the concrete supports for the building have been spread a little to much and I am going to have to adjust the beams a little because of this.

How deep are you digging with those holes? I hope they are holding up in the rain. It looks like moles have dug up your yard. Can't wait to see how the deck turns out.
ReplyDeleteI reckon you could have gotten a bigger TV than that. I bet you would have loved one.
Hi Jay.
ReplyDeleteThe holes are around 30-45 cm... they don't need to be to deep as there are a lot of them. I can't wait to start joining it all together with the timber...finished the holes today. start on the timber soon.
Yes. We made the indentation for the TV a little larger than we need, so we can add a larger set in the future..We've had that set for around 6 years now, so when it goes....... :>
