You really should have done this yourself, but lemme guess.........you can't.

You're the guy that gives all homeowners a bad name.
Pffffffffffft

A high end builder ripping people off.

How'd the project end up? Did you replace two boards per day of this thread and have it completed by now?

Or. You could have done it yourself way before now.

If price is the concern, do it yourself. It's not rocket surgery.

Hell, at this point, who cares about the deck - you might as well wait for next spring, you're not using it until then.
I can't wait to see the 180 more pages on why it's so hard to get a bid in the winter.
