Subject: Re: SATURDAY THE EIGHTH by pianoguy on 2018/9/8 16:20:36 Greetings! Another beautiful day out there - I hope it isn't completely consumed by chores. The neighbors behind me are having their old deck torn down and a new one built - they said it was going to cost around $25,000. The neighbor house's original owner and I both put in our decks in 1990, similar size - he had his built by a contractor, and it cost $5000 and took less than a week. I did mine myself and it cost about $1500, but took me most of the summer. 7 years ago I re-did my decking and railings myself with maintenance-free stuff, and it cost me about $7000. So my aches and pains were worth about $21,500. Makes me feel better. Good luck, Marcus! Meanwhile, I think the Goofers will have their work cut out for them tonight. Have a great day, Gurus! |
