We started off the day by connecting the ledger across the first two spans. |
|
Once again, double 1/2" carriage bolts are used at these connections, this time going through the 6x6 cleats. |
To carry these long spans across the back of the house, we needed triple 2x12's - two on the outside and one on the inside of the cleats. |
|
The second deck/balcony pole is up. |
The second pole is now braced. |
|
By the end of the day, we also had the ledger in place spanning to the second balcony pole. |
