:lol: Why not?? The Deck had to have a name, and when thinking of things to do...I decided to paint one stool blue (for the hell of it) and name the deck The Blue Stool.

Whomever comes over, and ends up on the blue stool gets a shot of their choice. :cheers:

I remember when I had to have a barium enema for some lab work.

The last thing I ate before I had to start fasting for the BE was ... two large helpings of homemade blueberry pie.

I can provide you with another definition of a blue stool if you'd like.

That is the single most awesome deck I've seen in my 44 years. Did you build it?

Me and a buddy of mine built it about 8 years ago. I have stained it a couple times, but this time I bought some stuff that is good for "8 years" but the Lowe's guy told me I am good for 10 since it is in the shade most of the time.

Took me 4 days to pressure wash and stain (with brushes...no spray this time) but it was well worth the effort. I only wish I did not have to go to work tomorrow so I could relax today and enjoy my efforts.

Dixie,

How much would it cost to build something like that these days?

Dixie,

:waiting:

:rofl: I have no idea what I spent....but if I was to guess, $8-10k range. It is hard to say considering the time spent was mine, so I have no idea what my hourly rate would be for something like this.

And that was just the materials cost? Or did you pay your friend?

I've paid for three decks this past year alone between my place and the flips.. That's a $10k deck easy with the different tiers on the steps, the benches, the bar, electrical, etc..

Props for doing that yourself. It takes alot of skill to do a deck right. _:cheers:

Was there a misspelling? Is this the third circumcision-related thread? "My Weekend Project: The Dick", "What do You Wear to a Brizz?" Some Shit About "Exhaust Tips"?

Are all the guys here meat gazers? What gives?
