Swamp Wolf OP trapper Joined: Apr 2009 South Ga - Almost Florida	There was a 16'x16' wooden deck here for over 10 years. Treated wood ain't what it used to be. It was rotting away (even after being treated/painted, twice.) Tore the deck off the house and hauled away. Poured a 24'x24'x4" patio slab. Just completed a mini-deck with steps to put the double doors back in use. I had 5 tandem loads of dirt hauled in. Spread it with a box blade and the New Holland. Paid a guy to build form, and smooth the concrete (I calculated the yards needed and scheduled delivery.) All this about a month or so ago. I started the small deck and stairs about 10 days ago. Finished today. Yeah...I work slow. My 1st time cutting stringers....$54 for two 2x12x8's. Didn't won't to re-buy those. Success! I built it all over-sturdy. Hurricanes have me "storm-shy." The wife's happy with my build idea and work. She was already setting stuff on it b4 I could get thru with it...smh! Anyway...glad that's done. Gotta trap a few nuisance beavs next few weeks.

It makes it easier to get the snow off the side. Hopefully that won't be an issue here....again...lol! Plus, plans are to build a roof over half the patio's length..complete with guttering. My pellet grill, smoker, & fish cookers, along with the entire mini-deck and steps will be under the roof. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 02/03/25 05:48 PM.

Great looking work there Swamp. Paint is your worst enemy on any flat surface wood, rots it out 3 times faster then stain.
