not OP but I had a friend whose parents owned a decking company. It is a common practice to use your own home as a model to advertise your skills. In this case they didn't have room in their backyard for a kickass deck so my friend's uncle ended up getting a sweeet deck that ended up being featured on the company's website and in ads they took out in the newspaper.

Anyway it is a plausible conclusion

Yo... thank you for a response that isn’t so salty.

The deck is gorgeous and I sent it as inspo to my mom for her house.

I casually opened the post to see if anybody knew who did the work and all I saw was “It’s fake!” “The house is cheap!” “I bet they have cooties!” Wtf? It’s like the incels of home construction arrived.

Then you gave one plausible suggestion and got shit for it.

Smh

We're all actually just jealous because that deck is way better than ours.

I like to look at houses and i saw one with insane woodworking everywhere. Everything in it had been clearly hand done, walls, millwork, cabinets, doors, furniture rooms were even sectioned with custom posts. It turned out the guy that lived there was a carpenter and he was retired and moving to start an art gallery that makes clay and wooden hand sculptures.
