It will depend on the angle of the boards. You will have boards running more than 20" across center if the angle is too much.

That would be the max angle at 16" on center. You may want to angle it a little less to be on the safe side. I don't know what your building codes are in that part of the state but some may require you to make some changes with the 16" on center if you are using 5/4x6 boards. You may also notice some bounce in the floor when walking on angled boards running across 16" on center.

Drive by with your pick up and yell out the window "first 2 guys in the back get the job!" You can work out the details after you get to your house. I'd say you could pay each mexican $10 per hour. Throw in a 12 of corona for after.

Does anyone remember the videos of the guy who would pick up illegals at Home Depot to do jobs for him and he would drive them to the INS field office in his town? :laugh:

You may just want to run new joist in between the existing joist. You would save time and money compared to cross member supports, you would need too many cross members to secure it properly.

Am I going to need to screw the decking in to every joist? It might look shitty having screws down every 8".

Since when is racism hilarious? You just yelled at me the other day because you were under the impression I was being racist. You said something about your growing ass or something like that.

How is that racism? The guy was taking illegal immigrants to INS.

Not like your hilarious "STFU black" or "beaners" posts.

It's racist when he wears KKK outfit at the gas station in a black neighborhood. Also when he took his KKK outfit to be cleaned at a black owned dry cleaners. I could hardly believe it when you insinuated that you support what that guy does.

I only saw one video where he drops off illegals at INS. I apologize for knowing nothing about any other videos. Black.

We were both confused then. Well, maybe just you. You said "those" videos before but now you are saying "only one" videos. Seems kinda fishy. Are you sure you're not a racist?

I assumed all were the same, I.e. dropping off illegals at INS. I apologize.
