Deck Day 5

Yesterday I double checked the placement of the holes and had to move a couple to make sure everything was lined up correctly. And then backfilled the space around each concrete form cylinder and wet it down to help the dirt compact. 

I then went to the hardware store and ordered 25 bags of concrete and some metal framing brackets. I also bought the beams and posts that I need for the first part of the structure. There was a flat delivery fee so I figured why not shouldn't have it all dropped off.

My next step is to pour the concrete. My friend Joey is going to help me do that this Saturday.
