Deck Replacement (Part 2)

This post leaves off where <<Part 1>> ended.
First up, I marked the locations of all the joists that would be run out from the house. These were placed no more than 16" on center, and occasionally less where obstacles got in the way. There were several utilities on the side of the house that I had to work around. Once all of the spots were marked, I attached the header brackets, and started putting up the joists.

Occasional Interruption #1 (Tree Fell Down)
