Deck Plans
Here are the 1/2" scale framing plans that I've been working on.
But, then I thought: Why rip everything out and set new piers, buy new $15/board lumber, level everything, and all the rest? Could I use the existing framing? I think maybe I can.
The "prow" was going to be another cantilever, but we can't do that with the joists running this way. Might just frame it as a gable end--turn a double pair of joists 90-degrees a few joists back, and use joist hangers.
