No thanks🙄  This would be the stupidest looking house in Gravi if it was lacking the deck.   

You, of all people, should realize the pride of having a BIG DECK ! 

Patio.   Only Hoosiers have decks.  😁

Can't even find it on Google.

We started out to build a back Deck. Became Screened in Porch. Now is just another room.

Decks are similar to pick up trucks. The size is in inverse proportion to other areas lacking.

For the price they want for the boards, it should include the labor of replacing them.

Friend replacing deck boards decided to expand deck by 2x..  Covid shut project down.  When he restarted he used steel instead of timber for beams for joists to lay on. MUCH cheaper. He has almost bought the rest of lumber after last kid out of school. He makes 150+ plus ( big union hvac guy) plus what wife kicks in(70+) and he just called for a weekend reunion. Asked if I could bring my screws, nails and etc. Said he "might" have rest of lumber, wants to finish it before last girl gets married...  I don't know how some guys do it
