OG, I must give the xtroll a go one day. Interesting to see how the cutek goes. I'm not really keen on the bahco's either - way to hungry for my liking but ok for rough cuts. Anyhoo, just to steal KK's thunder I'll chuck a pic or two up as well. No doubt about it, hardwood is still the king for decks buts its crap to work with. No two sticks are the same. Even 2 joists cut from the one length vary by 6 mm. Bloody shrinkage ! So its a lot of rooting around to get to the decking stage which will start ( and end) tomorrow. So we are ready to roll with the joists in, tied down, bitumen on top and joist protector on. A bit of blocking around the remaining tree and a bit more on the angled end joist to stop it rotating with the pool glass hanging off the side of it ( more work still to be done on that front though).
