Here is Jerry Phillips putting up the last joist hanger on the house, for the deck. Tomorrow, I will finish peeling the last four logs for the deck supports, and start cutting them all to length. I will then plunge cut a slot in the base of each log so they will fit over the blades cemented into the deck support pillars. I will paint the base of each log with tar so water does not wick up into the wood and cause damage in the years to come. Then they will all be installed and supported with 2X4's so we can scribe the lines for the double thickness of 2X12's that will serve as the outer rim of the deck.
