Just to show that I do more than rouse the rabble, here are some pics of what I have accomplished this summer. I decided to get away from the ladder method and go to the Pressure Treated method, primarily because i had trouble finding wood that was the same size.
I’ve had no problem with frost heave, even using only deck blocks with their 6X6 inch foot print.
Gunny wants to play, too. The extended PT wood will support some building of various ilk, once I get them done.
The yellow step is just a temporary support, while the deck block is permanent.
That’s my train watching chair.
