I apologize for not subjecting you to daily and ritual updates of the demolition and reconstruction. I can circle-back to that another day as it would be worthy to share the details of the most cool time capsule that has been placed beneath the deck.
Our porch project was completed this afternoon.
The homeowners would like to thank Buhr Construction, Brussels, WI for the workmanlike result. Nicely done!

This is what we call a porch beer.
Another Wisconsin beer from Capital Brewery.
Classic Wisconsin lager brewed with Brewers, Munich, Yellow Corn Grits malt and Northern Brewer hops.

What type of wood is that? It looks thinner than typical cedar decking but hard to tell. Almost looks like Ipe. Do you know by chance what fasteners they used? It looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks. We're tickled with the results.
ReplyDeleteIt's Douglas Fir pre-treated with a Pratt and Lambert oil-based stain and sealant.
Fasteners were galvanized staples and finishing nails
The white trim is Palight PVC.
Funny you should mention ipe. When I saw the material used for Green Bay's River Walk I discovered that's what they used. Nevertheless, the cost per linear foot is mind-blowing, off the charts expensive.
The decking will receive a follow-up treatment with the same stain in one year. And we'll be much more diligent about maintenance. If I can get 20 years out of a sustainable wood product I'd be happy.
