Sooooooo, how many Beers does it take to build a deck anyways?

So here's what I've been doing lately...I started out with this. A nice size deck, but rotten to the core, including the adjacent porch overhang 4X4 posts. A couple more snow packs on the roof and I would have lost a nice shaded part of the back porch.

So I ripped it all out:

And under it all it had some really nice size cement footers, one of which was almost 2 feet across and 3 feet deep. No way to get that out of the hole, so we got a luck hit with the sledgehammer and we buried two smaller pieces deep down in the dirt.
