My monster deck project

[BierMuncher]

That there is pure sweetness.

And yes...you suck.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

You're starting to give me a complex, BierMuncher.

 

[TwoHeadsBrewing]

Wow! That hot tub with TV just takes the cake...nice work! Now you really can enjoy the deck all year round, eh?

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Well we can at least enjoy part of it in the winter.

 

[wizardofza]

Dude, that is a rockin' deck. Well done!

 

[nghtmre4u]

Looks great.I too have deck envy

 

[kjung]

When's the christening party ? We'll all bring something !

 

[Evan!]

is that P.T. wood? It looks pretty blond...but then, that might just be the exposure.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Yup, it's PT from Home Depot - no arsenic. It threw me for a loop at first too, after years of years of working with PT I had to ask like 4 different people to make sure, because to me, PT = green.

 

[Flyin' Lion]

I like your deck.

 

[EdWort]

Very nice. Private hot tub tool..

 

[Saccharomyces]

Damn... wow. Just wow.

I didn't see the outdoor taps though...

 

[Trubadour]

Beauty!

And I agree with Saccharomyces... though outdoor taps could be a problem considering neighborhood punks would have direct access.

Me thinks a rolling kegerator is in your near future.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I had just planned on bringing out the Sanyo when we have parties, but a 'trasherator' sounds like a damn fine idea as well.

 

[JesseRC]

It's just awesome. Really nice job and you're right , it all came together nicely.

I think you've been had. That's not PT...home depot just sold you regular pine at PT prices. God, you're such a sucker.

When I built my kids' playset, I used what was labeled as "Thompsonized" deck wood from HD. It's supposed to have the copper based stuff pressure infused into the wood and then a layer of Thompson's sealer on the outside. Water certainly beaded on it for the first season and it would barely take any stain.

 

[cabot]

speechless....*single tear*

 

[LakeErieBrew]

Day-um, that is a sweet deck. Very nice work.

 

[macabra11]

lol I love the thought of watching "Beerfest" in a hot tub! Nice choice of cinematography magic. Subtle and classy! LMAO

 

[SporkD2]

My wife is going to say "If he can build that deck, a small one in the backyard shouldnt be that hard!"

Thanks for nothing lol

Really though, freakin awesome deck

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Thanks for all of the compliments, folks.

Sorry if it makes more work ya.

 

[ODP]

my jaw just about dropped when I saw the hot tub! Nice privacy wall for you and SWMBO if the kids are away for the night. If the grandparents were nearby I'd have them on speed dial for just this purpose!

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Got it stained and sealed in time for a party this weekend.

[Lil' Sparky]

I don't even have a deck. This thread gives me deck envy.

 

[jcarson83]

Makes me think I should stain my deck.

 

[salad 419]

My deck is stained from boil overs.

 

[ChshreCat]

Everyone's always jealous of the guy with a big deck.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

My deck is stained from boil overs.

Well then stop brewing on it!

 

[salad 419]

Two more brew days and the staining will be complete. Although it looks "camo" because I didn't use the same recipe. I will on the next deck.

I just thought it was funny. I brew in my garage or Rod's garage or Tony's garage, HELL, I've even brewed in your garage.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

The wife felt like people were watching us when we were in there, so I came up with these:

Open:

halfway:

closed:

 

[Bopper]

Wow - fantastic job OB! Fine craftsmanship! This thread is also making me thing that I should stain my deck. Will be an easy job since it is only 10X12 (I'm in a condo)
