Awesome stuff!! Really funky

Was it a hard job? Never been involved with erecting decking!

You have a new table and yet you balance a glass of water on the nearest post?

Of course, all done by the book

Dunno, I wasnt in charge

The frame was perfectly level, guess that helped

Looking good! Interesting choice having the Bambo screen.

It's great that Daz wears nice jeans and t-shirt and shoes when doing the gardening. Most people would be in ****ty tracksuits or paint covered jeans or in shorts - nope, Daz is looking hot whilst playing with earth. Love it

Looks really good - once it has weathered a bit it'll look even better. Really good bit of work guys - makes a huge improvement

Haha, he doesnt actually own anything like that

other than that, looking good

/edit

actually not sure from pics, might be about level

It's just below the top of the damp course, but there is a good gap anyway, few washers on each bolt in the house

Erm, lots of time with a long spirit level

There's a bit of run on the whole thing as well, should be roughly 10mm per 1M.

Not too bad at all actually - had more earth to shift than we expected (but I guess that's always the way!), and had to take some care to make sure it was level everywhere before fixing the frame (4 bolts in the house, 10 posts in the ground - we actually split the frame in 2 and joined them up)

Is the support beam of the decking furthest from the house just resting on soil, wont it rot pretty quickly?

It's not, none of the frame it touching the ground, though it's obviously closer in some places than others.
