Hit the deck!

We'll soon be able to do that anyway. With some help last night we figured out how much lumber we need to build a deck at the back of our house that will sit partly under the overhang we have and extend about 5 feet out from under the roof line. From what we figure it's going to cost us ~ $550 for the lumber (pressure treated) from Timbr-Mart in Teulon. The screws, hangers and balusters will be extra, but shouldn't be more than $100.

That'll be a nice little side project sometime in the next few weeks. Tomorrow I'm going to (try to) get the electrical permit for the basement. I don't forsee any problems as I know what I'm doing and I have a very clear plan drawn up for them to review. The work is actually quite simple as it's only a few plugs and some lights when it all boils down to it. We're going to go look at an electric fireplace tomorrow as well for in the basement. We were contemplating putting in baseboard heaters but I figured there isn't enough room in our panel to put more than two in. We'll rely on the heat from the furnace and the fact that we had icynene sprayed on to the joist ends.

So once I get the electrical done I'll update with some pictures. Perhaps the deck as well=)
