All plastic moves with heat, a ton. Especially if you’re decking with 16’-18’ lengths. Seasonal changes need to be taken into account when installing for sure.
What’s with the nailer, Wilber? Looks like an air line in there. I’ve always screwed and plugged Azek.

English Walnut Azek. The decking is grooved and held down with Simpson EBTY ,an awesome fastening system.
I do nail with stainless 15 ga ,not the decking ,but the fence and or vertical pieces.
Yeah it moves,in the morning you can fit a small family of cats in between the jointed decking,by afternoon it is tight.
It is 94 out over here,man.

Wood Deck Refinishing. Anyone care to suggest a product for staining a wooden deck? I'm at 4500' in the Sierra, plenty of sun, plenty of freezing, and in a good year plenty of snow. So far, it looks like I'll choose Penofin oil based transparent stain.
Tahoe people, whatta you use?

Deck Scapes by Sherwin Williams is a nice easy product to use, perhaps a little more environmentally friendly that doesn't require much prep to re-coat.

Contractor, I have a couple more window questions...found a large Andersen E dealer in my area. He's recommending the 'push-out' windows, says they're a better window...thoughts?
Any issues with the hidden screens, besides costs?
Thanks

Otisdog, Somewhat a novelty item. The retractable screens have had service issues. They do have a hinged screen which would make the whole window assembly kind of a cool retro window. If you have a special location in mind for the push-outs, what I would do on my house is use standard casement or double hung Anderson/Eagle windows throughout the house and pick out just a couple of spots where you would want to use push-out windows in the casement or awning configuration.
Pictured below are standard Andersen/Eagle Windows (Wood interior with Aluminum cladding) on a complete remodel we are currently doing- the leave 2 walls standing variety. The push-out windows are in the same product line as the Eagles with the same options. You can order the windows with a narrow bar I believe (5/8 vs. 7/8), for additional retro stye. Don't order their jamb extenders, have the carpenter make them on site.
Hope this helps.

Milled cedar from my friends’s property. The deck is the same cedar. The box was from my friend’s scrap pile.

The Every Day Calendar
I don't get it. Mine would be 3/4 dark if I was keeping track of doing something every day. Is there some other purpose other than to shame yourself as you walk by it every day?
