Adventures of Newlyweds in Kansas

So today we started building our new deck.  We decided to do pre-made concrete blocks instead of pouring foundations.  We need 32 of these instead of 9 but we think it will save money as we don't need as many joist boards, don't have to mix our own concrete, and don't have to buy a bunch of metal connections for all the boards.


While I have been away in KC Derek has removed the rest of the concrete

And purchased all the supplies:

 So today we got to start on the actual construction.  We got all the 32 supports on the ground and tomorrow we plan on doing the rest of the joists and maybe start the planking!
