Mat helped me finish the back porch ceiling. After the fan is installed I'll cover the seam with another couple of boards. After this, I started work on the porch floor, or decking. Brian had some Ipe decking imported for he, Sam and I to use for our houses. Brian and Sam used hidden fasteners that hold the decking in place without anything showing on the surface but I wasn't happy with how those would turned out for me so I decided to screw through the top like regular decking. Since this is Ipe, ( an extremely dense species from Brazil ) I can't simply screw it down. I've had to drill pilot holes, then countersink holes, and then screws. All that adds up to more work, longer time. Fortunately it looks really good.
Amazing craftsmanship! (But I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Corey.) Heather and I have been enjoying all of your posts even though I've been too lazy to comment (sorry). When do you think you'll be moving in? Inquiring minds want to know. :-)
ReplyDeletePS - Classic Mat pose on your deck. Love it.
Thanks Tom! Don't worry, I've been too lazy to post lately. Hope you all are doing well. I keep meaning to call. Maybe some day I will.
