Day 3 - Framing and digging holes

Today the big deck frame branched out from the house, in distances of 10 to 12 feet in different locations.

The big deck builders have accessed under the house and in the basement to identify the proper way to lag bolt the deck to the house. This is a sign of the way it should be done. Our previous deck was basically screwed to the wall - that is a no-no.

More than 12, two feet diameter, three feet deep holes were dug and concrete was poured in each of them.

This deck could realistically hold the weight of a car the way it is being constructed.
