The custom finish work will take me a week or so, with railings, molding and closing it in with cedar. The floor joists are 2"x 8"x10' PT. The perimeter frame is in 2"x12"x12' PT and the deck boards are 2"x6"x10' PT. It also has a raised deck where it fastens to the house for live bands for the guests.

Thanks Terry!

That is a cool looking deck. Good job!

Yesterday, I measured the distance from the axis of the tree to our "endangered" roofline.

It was 9-feet!

This photo shows the result of two "trimmings" of the deck around the tree. Our Blue Spruce has some "enlarged-blistering" damage to the bark on the other side.

There's about four feet of empty space from the deck to the ground. What appears as a very dark area below the deck is galvanized steel "rabbit-fencing". At the time, the neighborhood was experiencing serious depredations of local beavers!
