Last week my family and my wife's parents went to Hilton Head Island, SC for Spring Break. The house we stay in belongs to friends of my in-laws who allow us to stay in it for a week. For rent we usually do little odds and end jobs for the owners. Two years ago we painted the upstairs bathroom and the hallway, last year we painted a bedroom and another bathroom. This year we tackled a build of the first section of a deck at one end of the pool. Here are the results after our week in the sun. The deck is 15' in the front, 19'6" in the back and 10' deep front to back.
framing complete and posts cemented in

5/4 decking going on

next spring we will remove this bench and add the final piece of the deck in this area

Me and my FIL, the happy contractors right before we left for the long drive back to Ohio
