Deck Building Weekend 3

Picking up from where we left off last week, we were on to building the deck again.

The holes were dug, the bearers were prepared so we were ready to concrete the stirrups in.


Well... that was until we realized that it wasn't as easy as we thought. Getting the bearer to be the same level as the concreted alfresco was quite difficult and time consuming. However by the end of the day we managed to concrete on of the bearers in.


Once the bearer was in level pouring the concrete into the holes was not too hard, but we had to use 2 concrete bags per hole to fill it up. I expected it to be one concrete bag per hole so now I need to go out and buy more concrete.



Did I mention concreting the posts was a messy job?


One bearer down and two more to go.
