I wanted it done right and a contractor was looking for winter work. I paid 60K for the composite deck and concrete footers. The pilings were helical pilings that were drilled in. That was a huge expense, but it won't buckle or heave with the permafrost.

It completely changes the house and it's awesome. The pic was from once the snow melted and I hadn't cleaned up the yard or put the jetski docks in the water yet.

The back yard is completely sloped. It's composite decking, so maintenance should be minimal. It would make more sense if you were at the house. It wraps around the entire house connecting the back yard to the front.

You should stain it with black pine tar it will preserve the wood much better than flame sealant. Otherwise you got about 7 years

We haven't even been able to fish for kings in about 5 years. But back in the glory days, 70 and 80 lb kings weren't uncommon.

Thieves are the worst. I lived off campus on a dead end street around a bunch of proles. I guarantee it was one of them who swiped it. Fuckers. Then I went over to Jackson on a school trip later that year and asked one of the antler shops how much they'd pay for a moose skull with antlers and they said something like $2K, which was a lot back then.
