On Friday, the 19th, I had a carpenter, Paul Tallon help me get the deck rim boards started. Paul showed me how to set up and mark the notches in the side of the support logs, and I cut out the notches with the chain saw. When he left, we had the inner rim board on the east side of the house completed, and all the deck floor joists installed to the front of the house on the east side. On Sunday, Paul Hubbard and I set up and notched the supports on the west side and installed about a dozen floor joists. We also went to Basin, MT and marked logs to be cut for the rest of the house. They have been cut and will be delivered tomorrow, the 23rd.
On Monday, I secured the 2 X 8's on the front of the house to the sill plate with 1/2 inch X 7 inch lag bolts. The inner floor joist hangers are mounted to this plate. I then installed the rest of the floor joists on the west side of the house. Today, the 22nd, I set up and notched out the rest of the deck support poles on the daylight end and installed and leveled the outer rim boards. Tomorrow I will begin installing the rest of the deck floor joists.
