I am your carpenter I am the builder. I put together the beams and the doors. Do you feel safe in your home? I put together the framework. Windows need my care and without me there are no staircases or molding. No crowns or steps. I create furniture and put in the beams in the roof. I am the carpenter; do you see me? I use the saw to bring out the shape that is in my mind and on paper. Sometimes I follow orders and sometimes I create from my world. Often I am in the zone, at one with my hands, my tool and the wood and my vision of what is being created. I breathe in the fumes of varnish and glue. My brain grows toxic. And still I continue, for I love the living wood with which I work. The material with which I work has so many different qualities and textures. Each piece like an individual that I come to know and respect. I am your carpenter. Have you ever contemplated the different qualities of wood? Coming from a tree that gave up its life to serve you. Some woods are gentle, easy to work with, fragile almost. Some are so strong, you would think they were metal, and are used for those things you wish to last forever. I, the carpenter, honor wood and the trees they come from. Did you know oak from the northwest has a different feel to it than oak from Australia? Remember every so often the thought that went into the building of your home. Respect the sweat and planning, the toil and effort it took to bring to you the comfort you now enjoy. Exchange with me as I exchange with you. I am your carpenter.

Deck Pricing, Cost Estimates and Research
Building an outdoor deck is one of the simplest ways for homeowners to expand their living space and add visual appeal to their landscape. Outdoor decks do not require electrical or plumbing installations and you are spared the hassle of working with lighting, windows and other components that a full addition would require.

It is true that constructing an outdoor deck can be simple; however, it still requires you to put careful planning into it. As with any home improvement project, the more you put into the planning and preparation, the more you will get out of it. Keep in mind that a qualified professional in your area can help make sure that you are considering every step of the deck planning process.

There are four factors to take into considerations with an outdoor deck.

Size of the deck
Location of the deck
Materials that will be used to construct the deck
Design of the deck

Determining The Size Of Your New Deck
In order to save yourself money and ensure an effective construction, it is best that you plan your deck dimensions. By doing this you will be using standard board lengths and reducing the amount of wasted wood. Make sure that when it comes to materials, you are only purchasing and using what you need.

The location of your deck is crucial. Consider where the sun will reach your deck, where the shade will reach your deck, where you will get easy access, and where you will get the best view. Also, think about air movement. Often a wrap around deck can increase the level of air circulation, making your deck experience a more enjoyable one.

Deck Materials
Think carefully about what material to build you deck out of. You can spend less money on materials such as Fir and Pine, but expect to need a replacement within 10 years. High end materials, such as Cedar and Redwood, may cost more, but they will offer you more durability and a longer lifespan. You can also choose between aluminum decks, concrete decks, and composite decks.


The design of your deck incorporates several elements. You need to consider privacy, landscape, and architectural appeal. Choose between an octagonal, a free-standing, a multilevel deck, or maybe even a pool deck design. You can choose between a warm classic look and a sleek modern appeal. Be as crafty as you can with your new deck because it is just as important as your kitchen or family room.
 

Decking Materials
The quality or grade of your decking material ultimately determines the success or failure of your structure. Using a high end decking material will offer you the best results. High end materials include cedar, redwood, mahogany, ironwood, and certain composite decking materials.

When selecting your high end material it is important to consider the cost, availability of the product, shipping cost, and maintenance costs. It is best that you take these figures and compare them to the amount of money it will cost you to use non-high end materials (pine or fir) that will need replacement in 10 years. Most likely, you will see that it is worth the additional costs for high end materials because they will last for longer periods of time.

If you do decide to go with a high end material for your decking construction, pay special attention to the grade of wood. Not only does the grade represent the level of visual appeal, but also the level of strength. Wood grades are also based on the number of obvious flaws, such as splits, sap pockets, knots, and other imperfections.

In addition, you will want to focus on the level of maintenance. There are three different decking material options that can affect the strength and amount of maintenance required.

Pressure-treated Lumber- Least expensive (Pine or Fir)
Rot-resistant Wood- High End quality (Cedar, Cypress, Redwood)
Synthetic Materials- Least amount of maintenance (Plastic, Rubber, Vinyl Lumber)
