Building a deck! Posts and frame went in last night. Today it's joists and deck boards. So naturally I have to get down to Wickes to buy some bits and bobs I forgot.
It’s always the bits and bobs that get you!
Good luck and we’d love to see some pics when it’s up!
Not quite finished.

About 20 screws short, plus at least one more deck board needed for the edge due to my wonky maths. Might add a step to that near side - the garden has more of a slope that I realised! However, the whole garden is very much a work in progress. We moved in last September and it was an overgrown nightmare of dead trees and rocks. Just the other week we had filled a skip with 5 tons of rocks, slabs and concrete from this area.
Edit - the before photo. I think this might have been from the viewing which was 6 months before we moved. When we got here it was much more overgrown
