So the wife and kid are in Myrtle Beach with the outlaws this weekend, and I've been given the green light on my deck...finally. It'll be 16x20 with a pergola over it with that smoked coragated plastic over that. We (the blind and deaf 14 year old dog) break ground at dawn. Tonight we drank yuengling light and margaritas and watched the egg do a hung (organic) chicken. Happy weekend yall.

My last house had a 16x20 deck. The inside was only 950 sqft, thus the new house.

My wife came home and caught me cutting a hole in the wall for a French door. "Do you know what you're doing?" Great memory.

Look ok forward to your finished pics.

Looks great, can't wait to see the finished area.

And man that Phillies game was a bummer...

Nice looking bird!

Good luck... I'm sure it will be great based on how your trailer turned out.

Great pergola @Biggreenpharmacist ! That's what I'm going after, just a bit bigger. I'd do it in pavers or concrete but we hope to be outta this house in <2 yrs and I'm trying to maximize my profit/equity.

I planted my ass here so mines in concrete. Ive got about 20 fruit trees and my drug store is five minutes away. Im an hour and a half from my deer lease and my farm. If this storm dont take me out I hope to stay here forever.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the progress. It should be a fun project knowing in the end it will be a home for the BGEs. Nice looking chicken too.

Jeremiah · May 2015

Thanks @Double Bogey when it's done it'd be great to have y'all over for dinner.

Jeremiah sounds like a plan.

JohnnyTarheel · May 2015

(Botch here): Anxious to see/hear more about this, I haven't heard of it before but it sounds like a perfect solution. I put in a vinyl/steel pergola two years ago, but the "half" shade it provides is only good in limited circumstances, and does nothing for rain protection. A smoked plastic would be perfect.

Awesome!

TTC · May 2015

Right on. Enjoy your weekend and your project, oh and the chicken looks killer

I don't know @Jeremiah, do you have the skills to do this? I mean, after seeing the camper you built from scratch I'm not sure you can handle this??? Just be careful, those circular saws spin fast and can hurt you. Hold the hammer by the long end and hit the flat side of the nail and you should be fine.

LOL...I'm so kidding. I'm sure it'll be top notch, good luck. Wish I was closer, I love building stuff like this.

We have a pergola over part of our deck, I really, really wish I had covered it, we just don't get the shade we need and zero rain coverage. It's on our list to cover with some corrugated metal and mount a fan...someday.

thats going to look great when you're done @Jeremiah, keep us updated with photos.

@biggreenphamacist your space looks very peaceful, I could easily drink lots and fall asleep back there.
