I don’t know if it’s just me but some of that deck seems out of plumb and level. I hope you poured concrete piers as well.

I'm wondering if the uneven railing heights are making it look more that way?

5 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm a builder who specializes in decks and renovation and more often then not true level always looks out of level. It's usual an illusion

5 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

I built my deck and swear it looks off level but measured it 475 times, bought a new larger level and measured 200 more times.

Sad facts about decks. They only add 70% of what they cost to build in home value.

5 years ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 0

But you have a sick ass deck!

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

With land like that pick a deck is almost mandatory. It might even make the house worth more.

Most home additions don't add as much value as they cost

Next up is finish out 350sq ft attic bonus space for about $1k ($750 after rebates) and it's gonna add $3.5k in value

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

That's just appraised value, doesn't mean you can sell it for that much more. Though I could see turning the attic into usable space is good

There are definitely merits to just-in-time, but taken too far makes you vulnerable to supply chain interruptions.

Didn’t they do it to drive operational cost down since they did warehouse anything?

Sure, and in many but not all businesses that can be fine. But the practice has become so widespread that we have no reserves of anything.

Not to mention almost all companies above a certain size pocket the savings for executives at our expense. Nothing for workers or customers.
