What happens here

This project details the construction of an upper deck as part of a two-story deck system, emphasizing the use of repurposed and specially prepared timbers. The process includes shaping and notching large oak timbers, installing the deck framing using a specialized lift, laying and securing cedar decking boards, and applying a protective stain/finish to all wooden components.
