I bought 2 6X6X10 and thought I was going to die when I saw the price. I was lucky to be there to get them tho. Old men fighting over lumber like shoppers over the $100 Black Friday TVs.

One 12' 2 x 12
Two 8' 2 x 4
Eight 10' 2 x 6
All pressure treated

One 5 lb box of Torx drive outdoor wood screws and five little bags of granite chips came to $250

I'm just glad I have steps and a landing again

Does not work in my area. Weeds will push those stones right out of the way.

Mary said she'll do it in the spring With the remnants of Delta dumping rain, the wood is pretty soaked right now and looks like Thursday the temps are dropping.

I was lucky enough to be able to get it in prior to that rain and before the cold nights.
I was staining as you were building.


Another shot in the spring and that'll do it.

Not an insult when it is based on facts on how you conduct yourself.


When people call me an asshole I do not take it as an insult. Because it is true.
