  1. I'm attaching a doubled up 2x12 ledger board to a concrete foundation for a deck. I'm trying to figure out if I should use epoxy secured anchors or expansion/wedge anchors. The epoxy is pretty pricey and a slower applicattion compared to wedge anchors, but I've read online epoxy is a much stronger hold. Is the difference in hold strength worth the price and trouble?
  2. Anyone know of a structural engineer in the San Antonio area with reasonable fees? I'm building a smallish wood deck at my office and I need an engineer to inspect the sonotube concrete footings I'll be pouring (in person or via photos/video if allowed by their rules) and provide a letter to the city affirming their adequacy (depth, diameter, rebar support). Thanks for any suggestions.
  3. Derp. Having issues with the image host. I'll post some photos in a bit.
  4. San Antonio. I'm thinking something like this,
  5. I want to build a covered patio onto the back of my house that is higher than the roofline of my house which is fairly low. My thought is to install a wide large capacity gutter onto the house eave and then a basically free standing patio structure that is two feet taller than the house roof. Hopefully the large gutter would divert heavy rain flows from the patio. Dumb idea?
