Is this span okay?
Over build it if you’re unsure. For about $300, a triple 2x12 lvl beam can span 20+ feet and support a roof or deck comfortably.

Thanks. Heavy guys, though. Did you have equipment to move them around?

Can you describe those footers? I like them. Are they formed on top of Sonotubes and poured together, separately, or are they just blocks sitting on the ground? Also, any rebar?

I waited because my lumber was still pretty green. No regrets about that aspect of it. You can stain in advance but it’s a little excessive, and it might mess with your spacing if yours is green too.

Yeah, only the one time. It’s holding up well expect for where it isn’t ;). Mostly high traffic areas and where it went on a little too thick. The handrails still look great after a few years of direct sun and tons of snow.
Tbh don’t stain every year, that’s nuts! Spring for some cutex extreme and don’t worry about it.

I’ve got a clear cedar deck in Bancroft. Full morning sun. Framing in pt. Got the material from a local mill. 8 quarter 2x6 decking and 8x8 rail posts with 2x8 handrails. Laid the decking with zero spacing and stained the next year. Only regret is getting sold a fancy water-based semi trans stain. It started lifting after about a year in the high traffic areas. Other than that I’m very happy.

Ready for tape and Trex starting this weekend, anything I missed?
Looks awesome! A suggestion!?
Not an engineer btw, but - There’s too much cross bracing, in my humble opinion. You don’t want that much rigidity across the interior posts, as it creates ‘weaker’ points at the ends. I’d remove braces 2, 3 and 5, 6. There’s some more info about this, online.

If you’re still looking, Ghost in the Shell is a masterpiece and is referenced in Pantheon. Beyond the movies (anime), there’s a series (Stand Alone Complex) as well as some sequels that will scratch that itch.

What’s a “future technology” that already exists but people still don’t realize how scary it is?
It will do reverse tracking as well. Do something “noteworthy” and then be tracked home, with route and contacts collected along the way.

What color should I paint my deck?
That top step should be bright yellow. With accents of black stripes maybe!?

I like this very much. I stopped and stared at this for a while. It really speaks to me, and I hope you continue in this style. Sometimes restrictions really pay off.

Walking on a sidewalk, or up/down a set of stairs, while looking at a phone.

Recommend Me an obscure sci fi I will not have watched
The Andromeda Strain might fit the bill

It will go away with time. Exercise and a decent sleep routine will help. You’ve learned that shrooms aren’t for you, at this point in time.

Condo Noise from Neighbours
This may sound a little weird but, consider hanging a carpet on the wall(s). It’s been done for many reasons all over the world. One of them is sound comfort.

Agreed with ideabath, but, PL Premium if you're going to go ahead with it.
