I live in Grand Forks ND and your statement is 100% accurate. Every new restaurant is packed for the first month.

@op always use a sharp razor, shave after or in the shower , rinse with the coldest water bearable, and use after shave balm without alcohol
I live in Grand Forks, North Dakota, US. We have had hazy skies and orange sunrise/sunsets because of the fires.
It's called terminal stupidity.
I am a nurse in a dementia unit. I love my surrogate grandparents, but it is a terrible disease for family members.
It was treated and had to go to the landfill
I'm in ND aka South Canada. We have about a month worth of days below zero every winter. You have 3 months hotter than the devil's taint
It will be sealed after the wood has dried sufficiently.
The smaller portion of deck has a concrete pad. Under the larger portion is an old rock bed which I didn't want to deal with.
Waiting for the wood to sufficiently dry before sanding, staining, and sealing.
Stain and reseal, or paint every 2 to 4 years. That way the deck should last 15 to 20 years. The original deck was over 20 years old.
My area doesn't require poured concrete footings for decks that are 36" or less off of the ground.
The wood all went to dump.
Thanks! I haven't tackled anything like this before and wanted it to look good.
That's a fantastic question.
I live in one of the coldest cities in the US. I will travel to warmer locales.
The codes in my area are really lax if the deck is close to the ground. It's my first deck build and I'm still not finished
They really are. I was hoping that the codes would be more help. The inspector said that it was more support than he's seen on most.
It will be reinforced. I put all of my 300lb manchild body into it and there was no play at all, but I have extra 4x4 and will reinforce
This is the same in my area. The inspector looked at the supports, joists, and ledger. He declined a final inspect due to height.
She definitely put in some work, and supervised/critiqued the rest of the work.
I'm going to fix that. I did most of it alone with very little to go on.
I'm planning on it. My local codes are terrible. This is my first time building a deck. I did some framing work years ago but never a deck
Thanks! Materials totalled $3,500. I wanted to go with trex, but didn't have the extra 5 grand. 470ish sq ft
That's the plan. I built the deck so that the wife can't say no when I buy a pressure washer next summer.
Neighbors are awesome, but the wife wanted a fence.
Yes, it will be sanded, stained, and sealed. The wood is still wet. I was told to let it dry sufficiently first.
We adore the neighbors, but the wife wanted a fence.
