This is a Moisture Shield composite deck where we installed the decking by grooving the deck boards on site & using a hidden fastener system.
A lot of work, but a neat finished look!

The previous owners of this home had begun to adorn their yard with a pond. The exterior had a lot of potential, but lacked continuity with the existing house, porch and pond. We needed to create a design that would blend all of these elements together in a functional and attractive way. We constructed the deck using an element resistant composite material and accented it with white vinyl railings. By removing the half-wall on the existing porch, the homeowners could now view the beautifully landscaped pond from the deck, as well as the inside of their cozy haven. Our finished product was functional, low maintenance and esthetically pleasing to the eye.

I saw a photo of this bridge posted on John4KC's Flickr stream and thought it might be a good time to post these.
This is a two-span through truss bridge that crosses the Big Piney River at Devil's Elbow on U.S. Route 66 (currently Teardrop Road) in Pulaski County, Missouri. The bridge is still open to traffic, but a little TLC wouldn't hurt. It was built in 1923 by Riley & Bailey, Contractors, however, it was made obsolete by a new U.S. Route 66 bridge in 1942.
Traveling east to west, the direction we were headed, the traveler crosses four concrete deck girder spans with a curved alignment, then two riveted 8-panel Parker through trusses, and finally one riveted Warren pony truss.
The total length of the bridge is 588.8 feet, with the largest span being 161.0 feet. The deck is 19.4 feet wide and the vertical clearance is 14.0 feet (although it's marked 13 feet 8 inches).
The bridge appears on the Devil's Elbow USGS topographic map. The bridge's approximate location is 37°50'51"N, 92°3'44"W (37.8475, -92.0621)—that's actually where I was standing when I took this photo.
The bridge's inventory number is MONBI 18976 (Missouri bridge number on the National Bridge Inventory).
During the inspection of September 2007, the deck condition rating was Poor (4 out of 9). The superstructure condition rating was Poor (4 out of 9). The substructure condition rating was Fair (5 out of 9). It's Sufficiency Rating was 30.9 out of 100. The overall condition of the bridge was appraised as Structurally Deficient.
In 2007, an average of 100 vehicles crossed daily.

The latest project on the home front. Joists have the cross pieces pocketed in as the decking will run in the same direction as joists. While end in joists run "wild" since it will be trimmed to a curve front.

For services travelling through the Mersey tunnels linking Liverpool with the Wirral, Arriva Northwest used a batch of low height Wrightbus bodied Volvo B5LH hybrid double decks which featured Arrivas two green fronted livery used for buses with improved environmental credentials at the time. Two were seen in central Liverpool preparing to head out to Heswall and New Brighton in March 2016.

The large brown thing is a tree the deck will wrap around.
No railing or actual deck supports yet.
The original deck was approximately 12'x12' (24 sq ft) and built when the house was constructed. It lacked character and had limited space for entertaining. For those hot summer days the owners installed a 24' pool and wanted a deck that would maximize their backyard, provide ample amount of space for entertaining, and be low maintenance. We proposed the following design. A bi-level deck finished with a composite material (TrexTR) that would look great and address their needs for entertaining, storage, and low maintenance. The upper level deck is approx 15'x 15 and the lower platform 30'x15' for a total of 675 sq ft. The two staircases provide easy access to and from the yard. The gates are self closing and there are two removable access panels below the deck, one on each side, for easy access to storage.

Deck U houses the Warp Core. Next are two massive storage/conversion units for hydrogen, to convert it into usable deuterium. Next is an air recycling room, with a hatch to the sub-deck below. This is followed by two communications arrays, and finally the single turbolift station.
The deck was built a year before the pond. The deck was replacing an existing deck that had begun to rot. The new edifice had over a ton of concrete just in the post holes! The surface area when finished was over 900 square feet, and encompassed three levels.
