That's weird, his wife was just talking about how unskilled he was just last night.

I notice you have a solid wall around your deck. Have Phobia leave a section a little shorter so you and your male guests can experience one of the finer pleasures in life: whizing off the deck. Not every one has enough length to flop it over or a small enough prostrate (Skip) to arch it over.

Well, I will give you a call while I'm there. I will be staying closer to the airport this time at Legacy Golf Resort. Be there Monday night through Friday.

Does anyone (Phob?) know if it's acceptable to use 2"x6"x8' for framing and joists? Deck's going to be 8' x 8' and will not have much weight on it. I know the 2x6s are fine for the decking, but I was curious if the framing and joists need to be 2x8s or if I can get by with 2x6s.

Thanks.

If the deck is 12" or less off the ground, yes you can use 2X6 for the joists. Anything higher should use 2x8

Thanks Phob. That's 12" or less at the top or the bottom of the deck?

Well, the purpose of the "rule" or code is to prevent falls in case of breakage. So, it must be 12" from the top of the decking. It may even be 18" in your area. You would need to check with a local building inspector or call your housing authority.

Thanks again. I'm pretty sure that it'll be less than 12" at the top of the decking.

Wow..I'm impressed. It appears Phil does have talents other than giving good BJ's.

Sorry man..I got him used to handling something with girth. I'm sure your toothpick is a little slender now that I've broken him in.

Does the thought of Phil and I sharing a sloppy embrace really offend you that much? Geethus.

Is that because the atmosphere is thinner above 12"?
