...in the garden... Thought it would be a good idea to sand my old decking and retreat it. In the process lifting a few boards and fixing a joist that got broken during a party a few years back. However, on lifting the boards we found the joists to be rotten, so that was it, the whole lot had to come up and get re-newed! All old posts where dug out, and I reset new ones in concrete, built the frame and finished the decking tonight... Old decking stripped out... (Monday Morning) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/24052009075.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/24052009076.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/24052009077.jpg) Posts set in, and frame built up (Monday Afteroon) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/25052009078.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/25052009079.jpg) Monday evening... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/25052009080.jpg) And finished this evening.... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/26052009082.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/StuyMac/26052009083.jpg) This is the most DIY Ive ever done without involving a car  ....quite happy with the result

Blimey! Come and do our's!
Interesting to see you're covering a grid - we have one like that in our back yard - what do you do if someone needs to use it?

Its only covered by the decking - if access is needed its only a few screws to lift some of the deck to get to it TBHI never knew it was there - the old decking was in the garden when moved in...

Bloomin heck mate - that was a quick job getting the joists down, well done. Is that your missus with the green laser eyes?

Yeah, she was stood there "helping" Actually, to be fair, she did clear a lot of undergrowth from the rest of the garden. It all just needs a good tidy up now...
