Wow, this looks 3D!! I had to look hard to see that it wasn't!

your deck looks great my wife wants one just like it great job enjoy it

That's a lot of deck for 40 hours! how many people worked on it?

2 of us mostly, however, we did have a few sets of hands helping towards the end of the project.

Thanks for your reply. fantastic job.Your a real pro.

One more thing. I'v been considering the ryobi combo kit.Been using dewalt drill and various corded tools for years,time to upgrade.What's your thoughts on the combo kit?

Dollar for dollar, Ryobi is great. The combo kits are a good value and are very reliable in my experience. I just got the cordless 18 gauge pinner and it is much better then Dewalts version. Much cheaper also.
