Orlando Deck IV

This is the location of the deck. The spa is already installed, and ready for use.









The sod is removed and the area is ready for framing. I will be using pressure treated 2x6" boards for the framing.









This is my supervisor on the job, Bilioux.









This is a better look at the spa. It is 8 x 14', and almost 4 feet tall.

This is a new version of the layout of the deck. The spa is made by www.swimspamanufacturers.com.










I changed the blade on my bandsaw to a resaw blade, and set it up to cut some 2x6's and 2x8's in half for the trim around the posts.












This is the same scrap of wood cut in half... I will plane the wood to clean it up and I will end up with some 1x6" and 1x8" boards that I will rout and use as trim.








































This is a sample of what the trim will look like. It will go around the five posts, on the top is the 8" trim and on the bottom the 6" trim.












This is a sample of the edge of the deck, there will be a 2x6 around the deck, and the decking will overhang by a bit. The edge wil have the decorative 'ogee' edge.








This is the detail work for the posts. The fluting will be cut in all 4 sides of the posts. The posts will be made up of a pressure treated 4x4 that will be cemented in to the ground for strength. (the posts will eventually hold a shade sail over the deck) The 2x6 cedar boards encase the post.

Anyone seen my workbench? I have unloaded the Red Cedar from my trailer in to my workshop. The smell of Cedar is so nice, I love it. I have to run all of these boards through my planer, and sand them all down. I will round over the edges of each board, and transport them to the site for installation.
