Brilliant job @danieltheman. Congrats.
Brilliant @danieltheman. You deserve to feel proud.
Got any advice for people having a crack at their own deck and/or outdoor entertaining area? What are some of the things that you learned along the way or found difficult?
Thanks for joining in the discussion @HoppersTech. Let me tag @danieltheman for you so he is alerted to your question.
A very warm welcome to the Workshop community. We look forward to reading all about your own projects and plans. Perhaps you have your own deck and/or entertainment area planned? Feel free to post whenever you need a hand or have a project to share.
Best to ask your council that question @HoppersTech as rules differ. In this case I doubt permission was needed as it was a replacement - the footprint of the house wasn't changing. But hopefully @danieltheman can confirm.
The hardest thing for me was the stairs if u get the box size wrong ur stairs will be wrong.. have a plan write it down.draw it up. U Tube anything ur not sure and ring a friend for advice
@HoppersTech
If u building a new deck yes need council approval I had a existing one
