I still don't have any bread.

I'm going to have to go to the grocery star tomorrow.

Me three.

Great the only eggs I have are ones from my friend's chickens and they are small. I need 6 large yolks and since the eggs haven't been cleaned I'm nor sure about separating them using the shells. . . plus I've only got 8 small ones. Guess I'm going to the store.

good evening all.

We got another gift today but since the couple's wedding shower is on Saturday, we are going to wait to open it until then.

I don't think that I'll get to "live blog" the shower but I'll be sure to blog it at least.

I went to the store today and forgot eggs. It was on my list. Forgot to look at my list. I have one. We might have to arm wrestle for it tomorrow morning.

I'll tell him that.

GEG would be SOL even if she did say that to me.

Okay, I need some help. My math skills are pitiful. We have a 20x20 deck. Trex (composite decking) is around $25 per square foot (installed). What would just the decking cost?

Still awake. Surprising.

20x20 = 400 sq. ft.

400 sq ft x $25/sq ft = $10,000.

i think.

Snarky answer: More than I have.

True answer: 20x20 = 400 sq feet * 25 = 10000 bucks.

20*20 = 400sqft

400*25 = 10,000

That crap is waaaay more expensive than it needs to be.

That's what I got as well.

Especially since the trex itself probably costs around $1200 for that size deck.

Hmm, if I had the free hands, I'd build the deck for you for that. . . .I wonder if my Dad would lend me the tools.

Watching musical Fringe. Some shows can pull of musical episodes (basically, any Joss Whedon show), but here, it's just weird.

Castle might-could pull it off.

KtCallista wrote:That's what I got as well.

Yeah, that's what I came up with. Hard to believe. And that's not railings or anything. And from what I've heard and read, lots and lots of problems with it, especially mildew.

KtCallista wrote:Castle might-could pull it off.

Yeah. Helps to have an actor who's been in a Joss-led musical show like Nathan.

I've never heard of mildew issues, but it's drier here.

My parents have a Trex deck, and my Dad used leftovers for the floor of the playhouse and the shutters. We used it for bridges at the nature center too.

I haven't heard the mildew issues either. You have to think about the understructure too. It needs more structure because it is more flexable than wood. Also nails are not reccomended for fastening so special screws or clips.
On the other hand very little maintenance once installed. No rot etc.
When I build one over my patio it will be Trex or a similar product.

I'd do a lot of reading first. We talked to a friend who does decks, and he said no way. He's done some and he said most people aren't happy. Again, the mildew issue.

Edit: There's some vinyl products that might work better.

Re- decks:

I'd perhaps ask Josephus- he knows a lot about woodworking so might have an excellent suggestion. But my suggestion would be red cedar or redwood

cedar is the less expensive option here. Trex is harder to cut and drill, it does eat your bits.

I am now reading there are mold issues.
"Trexä has settled it’s class action law suit, and it appears that they still have mold issues. Numerous people have called prior to signing a confidentiality agreement with Trexä agreeing not to talk about it... "
