Lakeside levels
First 100 Words:
DAY'S END: Lakeside Levels by Laurie Elden Focus on good design and clever construction Digging the holes for 22 concrete piers on steep and uneven terrain - the pitch was at least 12:12 - was time-consuming, says Tate Smith of Decks & More in Granbury, Texas. The Bobcat kept sliding down the hill, for one. But some 475 man hours later, the 1,500 square-foot multilevel cedar deck emerged from the lakeside, supported by 6-inch steel columns anchored to 4-foot concrete piers. The stone for the fire pit goes all the way to the ground - about 7 feet. Photos by
