Our next BIG project started two weeks ago and were getting close to being done.
The back deck was in bad shape and few years back I painted it with deck paint but it just didn't last :( so I bit the bit bullet and bought Trex decking to rebuild it (OUCH on the $$$$$$) but it will last forever and I wont be around when or if it ever needs replacing
Here are a few starting shots and I'll update as we go. A big thanks to my brother in law J.T for all his help, because without him it would have been to $$$ for me to undertake much less try to do it on my own with bad knees and back ??? ??? ???

I just love me a brick house :thumbup:
Great call on the Trex Tommy. Cry once I say and deck repairs/replacements just get more costly every year.
-
One question Tommy??? Is Jimmy Hoffa under that deck ;) ;) ;) ;) I have been trying to find him for years.
I love the house & when you are done it will be some deck

Lookin good! :thumbup: Trex is good stuff, just gotta watch your spacing because it does expand and contact quite a bit but I'm sure you're aware. When I did mine I used the blind screw jig from Kreg worked pretty cool.

I love my Timber Tech deck. Power wash it every year and that is it. I have neighbors who fight their wood decks every year. Cry once

Don't know exact dates yet.

Deck gonna look fantastic! We had a Trex deck wrapped around a swimming pool at a previous home. Looked sharp!

Great choice TMB. I converted my wooden deck to a vinyl deck a few years back. Best decision I ever made. Initial cost is expensive but in the long run well worth it.

I'm sure you will love it Tommy.
V wants me to replace our deck with it, but I won't let go of the $$$. :o :o
I tell her, "let your next husband do it". :D :D :D

Looks great! Yup, I love my "maintenance free" deck and railings. Like pappy i just power wash them each year. I was lucky enough to have a neighbor that was working at a lumber store that was closing. Asked him to get me enough decking for a 16X16 deck. Came home that day to a driveway full of decking, he gave me what they had left. Was more than enough to do what I needed plus 10X22 plus the stairs, and still had left overs.
I paid 400 bucks. 8)

Been living here 33 years and replaced deck three times before going with Trex about 5 years ago. Texas sun shows no mercy. Told wife after I'm gone she can replace me twice and still not need a new deck. ;)

I hear you, I figure another twenty or so years left in me so Trex was a no brainer

Deck is facing West. Really hot during the summer but at night and fall/winter it's perfect! Should be completed just in time for Sparky and his wife when they stop by in June

Looks great Tommy.
It's just now getting to be good "deck sittin' " weather here, I love it.
Enjoy yours.
