“I am so proud to be a "woman who built a deck!" Thanks B&D!”
A Couple of years ago, I built an 18x20 ft. deck attached to our house. It was something that would cost a lot of money and I wanted to save and build it my way. I did a lot of investigating, learning, studying and asking questions...and praying before the project took place. When I asked carpenters a question, I got "a woman can't do all that" attitude from most men I talked with. One carpenter actually asked me if "the deck moves when you walk on it"...haha. No, It is pretty secure and well made, if you ask me. I got a Black & Decker tool set from my husband for my birthday that year and was excited to use it for my project. My 18v Black & Decker Cordless Drill helped me get the job done, since I used screws to finish the entire upper portion of the deck. We enjoy our large deck and don't have to step down onto dirt when we go outside the back door. I am proud to be a woman who built a deck. Thanks B&D!
