Part 5/7:
The build progresses steadily, with many boards laid down. The builder calculates that only three more boards are needed to finish the deck, with two extra on hand just in case. They plan to complete the decking soon and move on to other essential projects, like installing blocking between the rim joists and adding flashing for waterproofing.
Despite the setbacks, including a misaligned or twisted board, they celebrate small victories such as precise measurements matching exactly at 55 5/8 inches, which confirms the deck's straightness.
