Synthetic decks are the way to go based on low maintenance and eco friendliness. Yes it is more expensive which I can understand since it is less maintenance and last longer, but can't understand since it is recycled. The point is limit to the amount of trees we harvest to build homes. Some post come from under educated people. The statement that redwood is not longer a good deck material to go with ipe instead misses the point that old growth redwood (better, longer lasting) is few and far between. The biggest issue that needs taken care of with the synthetic decking is the amount of heat it traps from the sun making it unpleasant on bar feet.

I dont see a big probelm hitting two hammers together expecially if your wearing safty glasses. I have done this a couple times when a pry bar was not arround and like the video nothing happened. Think about it, we hit nails, pry bars, other metal objects and sometimes concrete with hammers. They are made to take abuse!!!!

ill gladly go in your place if you wish to skip next year. i didnt make it this year but after reading your blogs and seeing some of the new things was about just as good.
