So, decking...
is it a bastard to lay down or easy.
Any tips from real men and manly ladies?

you just pop the cap off and it'll roll out across your garden
it's trimming back the bits you don't want that's the hard bit really

We had hedgehogs in our garden last night
It looked like a mummy and a baby. Did you know baby hedgehogs are called hoglets?

It's easy.
I lay down decking all the time, just for shits and giggles.
(, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 19:30, archived)
Same here.
I've got a whole room that's nothing but decking.

Getting it to stick to the ceiling was the tricky bit.

You just need to buy those special nails with the sharp bit at the opposite end.

Take it off the handle. Turn it around 360 degrees and then walk away.

Or double-ended nails.
Problem is, you've then got no surfaces for the hammer to get a decent purchase.

It's basic joinery.
If you can do basic joinery then it's a piece of piss. If you don't know one end of a saw from the hole in your arse then it is not a piece of piss. Hope this helps.

Joinery?

Yes. Joinery.
Is this an unusual word where you come from?

No.

Then I don't understand your question.

(, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 19:47, archived)
Are you absolutely sure it's joinery and not carpentry?

(, Thu 2 Jul 2009, 19:48, archived)
Carpentry is cutting wood.
Joinery is joining it together.

Thank you for that.

Well I'm certainly not unsure enough to give a shit.
Joinery is joining things together to make structures. Which is all you need to do to lay decking. Carpentry is becoming addicted to sleeping pills and starving yourself to death.

Decking is easy to lay down
Just lay the smackdown with a left hook, and voila

If you can't lay decking, just don't bother with life.
That's my saying.

It's easy and cheap
which is why it looks so shit. Be a man, and tell your wife to stop nagging for a wooden platform outside the patio doors or you'll really give a decking, y'hear?

you can have a piss and it doesn't pool around your feet.
