When we bought our house, it had two decks. A medium sized deck off of the dining area, and a small deck off of our master bedroom. There was about a 10 foot space in between these two decks. We decided that to make the decks more functional, we should combine the two decks into one large deck. We didn’t figure we’d use the bedroom deck much, and the dining room deck wasn’t quite big enough for extended family gatherings. I’ll try to keep this article updated as deck items get done.

• 6/1/2004 Update: We bought all the wood and sketched out a plan for connecting the two decks.
• 6/10/2004 Update: We put all the support posts, beams and frameworks in place. It’s coming together nicely.
• 6/17/2004 Update: We are now finished with the deck. We put the actual floor deck boards down and screwed them all in. It looks nice and will just need stained next summer. Since you are supposed to wait a full year before staining treated lumber.
