Mike & Tamar’s new tiered deck construction


For those of you who have been to their cool house, you may have noticed that the original buider snugged the house and garage nicely into the hill leading down into the park.
 Mike always watches for signs that the structutures are stable… and not sliding down toward the park! 
Recently there just the the beginnings of stress on the garage foundation. Small stress cracks that Mike had filled with elastomeric caulk, began to stretch the caulk.
Mike designed this series of decks with multiple 4x4s to act as lateral beams to lock the structure on the slope.
