   I wouldn't give up on us just yet.

   Keep coming by and watching.  Sometimes we come up with a few unusual things outside.

   Not a drop.

   Don't forget the two layers of the waterproofing stuff.

   Everything is holding up just fine.

   What does that mean? Two layers of the waterproof stuff? I thought the entire system was a waterproof stuff. Bob's next test date: 12/10/07

   I like to think the entire system is a waterproofable.  But we do lay down several layers of a liquid rubberized slop.  The following picks up on the specifics:

   I wanted to finish off the inside of the storage space below the deck, but since there really is no hurry at this point, I figgered I'd like to watch the underside of the decking for a few years to monitor any potential leaks.

   At this point, the underside looks the same as it did after installation.

   Although I designed this (you can even see my Chief's plot plan prior to this post mentioned), I claim no originality over the concept.

   My poker buddy (one of the authors of your fav book, First Break All the Rules), picked up a 3 mill spec house south of me a bit.  (He appreciates your contirbution.)  It has two such decks built out of the same or similar materials.  I had the concept in my mind, but until I saw his, I wasn't sure how to do it.

   After that, I took the opportunity to spend several days at the Miracote factory near Long Beach for training on their products.

   We've got a covered deck like that coming up and I'm very concerned we won't be able to locate anyone with experience with the product. Bob's next test date: 12/10/07

   At the top of the page in the yellowish bar, under the blue one: click on "All Forums", and select "Over the Fence". 

   It is the forum for Fine Gardening.

   they are so polite and gentle that it's a little like visiting a church to examine the architecture - hushed tones, no drinking, watch out for the true believers - "there's enough for everyone"

   I don't know about that.  I've seen some of them get pretty upset about gluten inhibitors in pie dough!
