Deck building and home improvement tips

home improvement - Extreme How-To

One of my very favorite home improvement projects is building a deck. I’ve built many—along with fences, playgrounds and other sweet outdoor stuff.

I love building decks with wood too. Part structure, part trim, part art, part process, it speaks to me. And, in the pages of the October issue of Extreme How-To magazine, they let me speak to you. About decks. And fences. And other wood-building fun.
