Firm im with are still putting up decks, not as many as say, 2 or 3 years ago but their still being built by us. My neighbour had a deck put up about a month ago now, and as i seen last night, he has painted it army green :x

the neighbour isnt quite right id say tbh, his front garden is occupied by 3 cars ( he lives on his own btw ) and he had this deck put up in the back garden at the end of the "lawn" which hasnt been cut for i reckon about 2 years lol.

I see your now the chief tea boy :p when i started that was a bad thing heh Was busy with moving house, fixing everything that decided to break in the house and moving jobs and then going back to the original job :/ Fun and games eh :D

Grass was not greener in the slightest. Was another landscaping firm, but i was the only person who came from somewhere in the UK lol, poles, slovaks, south africans. Guy was pure cowboy. Left that and went back to my roots and worked on a farm for a few weeks to tide me by, then was "kinda" offered my old job back, although am no longer a chargehand. But i dont mind, more money, less overall responsibility and dont need to do all the driving, id say i done not bad tbh :)

thing is stuarty no one is indispensable,some are really handy to have around,good grafters etc.

This pic was taken in Sisimuit, Greenland.
The owner had nowhere to have a bbq so he built this deck, unfortunately he had run out of timber so it hasn't been finished.
I don't think I'd like to spend too much time on it!
