Deconstructing the deck
Wow. It's amazing that something that takes weeks to build can take just a day and a half to deconstruct. Our formerly awesome 22' long by 12' wide deck that attached our tiny 850 SF house to our 10' x 12' backyard "studio" (modern-shed.com) has now been separated into a smaller 9' x 11' low platform deck (tucked behind the studio for our future BBQ and summer lounge area) and a neat, tarp-covered stack of redwood to be used in the construction of a new deck that we will build off the back of our about to be expanded house.
Mike and I forgot about all of the huge chunks of concrete that we hid under the deck as we built the framework 3 years ago. More for our contractors to carry away after they jackhammer the rest of the old concrete landing (also hiding under the deck).

Ouch, that hurts to see your gorgeous backyard deconstructed like that. :-( But it will be worth it when you have the extra square footage.
