Was that badass for me really but a score nonetheless.
Specifics -
Deck size 20 by 12.
Had to rip up existing deck, which was easier that I thought it would be given the rot level.
Tools - drill, pry bar, pencil, hammer, power saw, chisel, tape measure
Cost about 500 in lumber, screws, misc
Hours - son and I did the work -- probably 16 hours total. I know that seems like a lot but the rip down was time consuming ripping as we replaced.
This is a project that I think almost anyone with modest experience could accomplish.
I would also encourage those who wish to build their own decks to do so. It is a very straightforward deal.
Apparently I am to wait till wood cures to 12-13% before cleaning with deck brite and sealing. So perhaps an August job if we go without rain.
Will need to purchase a water sensor and 5 gallons of product. So add another $100 to price.
So for $600 a virtually new deck. Not too shabby really.
