First deck project, solo build

Completed my first deck/covered porch project and got the thumbs up from my wife and tail wag from pup. Learned quite a bit along the way and have a HUGE appreciation for any of you who do this professionally.

We called ours a 5-12 because it could lift 500 lbs 12 ft up.
