That about sums it up.

What you need is a good, thin crust five cheese pizza.

Which is exactly what I'm going to eat at this very moment. *:)

Sounds good. *Burgers on the grill for us tonight.

We can finally use our deck tonight and cook out. * Our 13 year old
cedar deck was beat up and I got tired of trying to maintain it. * We
had the flooring replaced with Eon Ultra deck boards and Trex railing..
The contractor started on Monday and finished the decking and railing
today. * The skirting will be finished on Monday.

So..........we can now use the deck and it looks great!

I've been thinking of replacing the deck on our house - been looking
into the same deck boards and railing.

Don't know if I want to do it myself though.

You do not want to do it yourself if you want professional looking
results. *The guys doing our job were certified by Eon and Trex as
neither the decking or railing are a simple installation like wood is.

Eon decking was rated best by Consumer Reports testing in a variety of
categories. *Mechanical fasteners are used below the deck face with no
fasteners used on the face of the decking resulting in a very clean
look. Our contractor upgraded us to Ultra (heavier) at no cost.

Can't be that hard - my next door neighbor did his deck with it and
he's a half-wit. *:)

Came out pretty good. *

Besides wanting a professional looking result I am at the point in my
life where I hire professional contractors to do the big house
projects I used to do.

I constructed 2 wood decks......with the first taking close to the
entire summer because I was out of town just about every week. It
was a bi-level beauty wrapping around 2 oak trees and was pretty big.
No more deck building for me.

The only projects I will now do myself are minor fix-up things.
Other than that...........I get quotes from 3-4 professional
contractors having good credentials and customer reviews.
