" While the backyard deck here in Plymouth has becoming a little bit more elaborate than the original one. Last week we showed you how to build the structures you can see we've got. Basic -- here we've had a -- to our our -- over what we've done additionally is to build kind of a miniature of that as a landing this is a platform this five feet wide and eight feet across and it's resting on the same structure pair guards on to a pair of up. Posts that are on concrete footings and what this doesn't it allows us to have kind of a transition instead of a long flight of steps down to the grass. We have a transitional space will will also be able to build and a couple of little benches. The interesting thing we're doing is we're using -- very. Untraditional material for the decking. You could have used you know your traditional. Straight grain fir or pressure treated lumber which is usually southern yellow -- we are using something called -- today. Which comes from Brazil. And it's a great dense woods. That looks very much like mahogany grain although when you pick it up it feels more like teak wood because it's very having. Now it has a lot of properties that'll make it really long lasting and beautiful outdoors in the weather and the thing that's most attractive is that. It's about a dollar forty -- so that is very competitive with other materials a little bit harder to work with but if -- do it yourself first. You know you've got the time. Let's check in with Riley and talk about how we're building this -- Ryley it's a good thing we got a couple of extra helpers -- David and -- and give them him learn all right now what's the first thing to remember when you're starting to lay out your boards for the decking. First document security."

" Select the very nice directly -- you -- if you want to make sure our that you're starting out for the good straight board because it's gonna be a guide throughout the other -- And I thought in the back rafter that determines how -- the whole thing will be -- using this eve tank it requires a little bit more labor have to visit very had led -- From the the first thing we wanna do is because we face everything out. Well using a sixteen penny galvanized spikes they're just temporarily put there fur coat evenly -- and look -- Iraq. Like we've done that what we're doing Gary here is that going a pilot hole. In her life isn't that Liz just why not 316 of an and crude Bob king of this grow which is a fluent half inch galvanized. Forget -- the war idea and it's going to bring him as -- off. And now Dave has gone through. Well I. Counterfeit how -- on this ahead of the school with a -- his life was immaterial. And him ahead we'll go right and right."

" Now it's important to be using a galvanized screw. -- cooking outside. For -- off because that's going to who have prevent the rust and here we're using a regular screw gun and I sure. Just a regular actually is a drywall screw down with a built in clock so that it stops. Driving. Once it hits the idea material exactly."

" Another advantage of this material that the five quarter which means his sturdy enough used for the structure. Something like this sneak this bench is going in place right here on the line. And of course we'll be using the UK on top just like the deck can. -- anyway right now want to take it in Nantucket island disdain for a deck and a house that was recently completed by Kate Mitchell of island women construction."

" OK it's essentially and talking with the rambling roses of the roof. And the -- let evade and everything else in such a wonderful rambling speech cottage how long did it take to build this."

" It was two years and."

" And process in the making right president."

" It took -- longer because."

" The owners are very careful about the design and -- Clinton is on board in -- curbing approach to the house and in the fact that we've got this. This gentle curve all across the front of the deck. It it just makes it can assist in Austin settles -- a lot like it -- very nice and tell me about the."

" Never that I it is exactly what he's an agenda. Yes these are -- her threats. Five quarter. And of course you can always spy from a lumberyard. Eleven inch wide stock easy so we needed to laminate -- so we can have a much wider curves. But we could reflect the curve."

" Beautifully done. And it's out here in the weather's you know a Chrysler straight grain fir is a good good material to use in the in the in the weather here in New England."

" That's right and then of course underneath we have pressure treated. Something uphill climb structure matters yet."

" Give us an idea of the the dimensions of the deck."

" breath here is 27 feet -- this at the front door and also the in the main entrance and house and then of the length the 76 feet."

" So that in this area over here you've got a wonderful place to take lunch under the umbrella that's right. And lots of lounge chairs and in an area to. To have breakfast maybe right that's correct yes what what's the concept here in making such an enormous deck."

" Well we thought that. The candidate -- who actually did this design viewers in the house yes it. Originally it was a much smaller deck and they decided that it needed some grace that this was really the main entrance easy and that. That he -- difficulty is this. They have water views that it faces the bag you -- That which is Nantucket harbor you and that's that has not yet so that this is more protected business thinks -- itself you have -- as the winds are coming from the north there's always even when the wind isn't coming from the north that still breathe other air. So SR and expansive -- you've got options to learn to do to get out of the wind exactly particularly in the fall would have been talked most lovely time ensures a better not to -- the right and also expressed. It's like you have a pedestal floor of the house yes absolutely and it's -- actually if we can continue around at his face a lovely decks. That continue that they."

" This is fabulous Nantucket sound on it gorgeous sunny day is this right now I have to Italian don't Nantucket is known as the great lady that's true this is perfect weather. You're getting down and seeing it in its most beautiful -- we lucked out indeed yes absolutely. For the decking continues all the way around the house essentially that's correct yeah that's correct now as you notice this is a much smaller narrower deck yeah. And that's really because the weather's not the most gorgeous over here. On the other hand until about 10 o'clock in the morning. There's hardly any wind it's pretty typical Nantucket -- the wind picked up -- and after ten so. It allows for plenty of time to have breakfast stuff here in the morning or -- on days like this of course you can be up here."

" But all night long most days you might want to be on the other side -- done yet they design that is but -- of course you've got the beach that's correct cavity. -- Tell me a little bit about the thought of -- decide."

" Well you see that they have three different tears and the first floor for where the major living spaces yeah Atlanta. You have this lovely curved deck. And balcony that's coming from two bedrooms with the master suite over here. And -- and children's bedroom over here and then the final -- on the little block out nicely they reflect. Yes then there. The symmetry is continued with the balcony on the left off of the master suite and another over the kitchen."

" right onto wonderful design and it looks to be beautifully crafted thanks for the market thank -- up."
