Enlarging my deck...

Any advice?

Um, get some wood?

I have thin wood, if I get thicker wood it may not match...

Get a Swedish made 'deck' enlarger (ala Austin Powers).

They have certain stains that you rub on for that...

Doesn't 8track have one of those models ?

You may need some pneumatic tools to help enlarge your deck.

You'll have to put your wood in all those holes you'll be making.

Remove the deck. Put in a patio so large and complex that folks will come from miles to see you. May even start calling you a deckless wonder.

my advice is to immediately stop thinking of such nonsense, and instead start thinking of ways to get your wife to get rid of some of the crap that she has crowded your deck with.

Keep your house and deck, but move to another land where based upon the surrounding houses, yours is the biggest deck in town.

Just keep adding on. Use thick wood but don't put it at same level as the old one. Step up or down to the addition.

Some funny comments.

But to bring this back to the original topic for a moment... when you come up to PA for JHC Day, you can see how we built our deck. We built it as a step down from the original and it looks nice. We used a floating system so there was no digging. It worked out great. There is a picture somewhere on the picture post of before and after. I have some other pictures as well and can send you the web site.

You really must be very proud of that deck!

Dose Lady Hay help maintain your deck?

Yes.

LOL!

That's great!
