I have
watched many of the shows from time to time on renovating, flip this house etc.
but this kind of caught my eye because hey, it’s the May 24 weekend and people
are either enjoying their decks and patios or they are thinking of upgrading or
improving. So I thought about my cottage friends and thought I would write a
few words about the subject.
You can
build your own deck if you enjoy that type of thing or come up with a concept and
ask for quotes from a couple of reliable contractors. There is a wealth of
information on the internet even design programs. Often your local building
centre will be able to assist you as well with their qualified staff. They can
also help you with a budget.
If you are
building your own You must have a design plan that meets building code
requirements in your area and be inspected to make sure it has been built to
that code. You should always check with your local municipally before you get
stated as to what you are allowed to do. Firstly you will require a building
permit as well you don’t want to spend a lot of time planning and designing
only to find you can meet the setback requirements from your lot line or in the
case of waterfront properties there may be a lot coverage factor that you have
to adhere to.
It’s always
great to dream and plan even if it’s a year off, so get out there and enjoy the
weekend. Look around for the potential. I’m heading back outside!
