    Still have to be more specific than asking generically, there are plenty of people that can help one way or the other. Just say what you're thinking of. Not sure why you are being so cryptic about it.

    People would need to know the size of the project, terrain and what you are hoping for.

    I've put in a stone patio and walkway and could help with that, I've never put in a wood deck and couldn't help with that.

    Why not just say specifically why you are asking? If you don't want to, that's fine, just seems odd to ask a question and then not be willing to say why you are asking.

      How much more specific do I need to get....I just said I have questions relating to cost,time,permits,materials in regards to building a deck or patio. I'm not looking to hire someone to do something for me, just have some questions regarding it like how much it'd cost for certain sizes(like differences in cost between 300 square feet vs 400 and so on), how long it takes for permit, how long the entire thing might take(from moment you get permit to build it until time its done), and other things.

      If this is something anyone knows about ,they can say so and I can just PM them all the questions instead of filling up this thread with it.

        I made some krispies out of the brand new Cinnamon Pebbles for Super Bowl. Eh. They were OK. Nothing beats Cinnamon Toast Crunch, really. Everything else with cinnamon is frankly subpar.

          Giving the square feet was a good start but you'd still have to be much more specific with what you're looking for. Material costs can be vastly different regionally and without knowing specifics it will be difficult for anyone to be able to offer help without knowing what you are looking for.

          Either way, good luck, it's tough working on this stuff.

          (Also as an FYI, permits are unique to where you live so that's not likely an answer you will be able to get from someone here)

            That's why I wanted to make it generalized. It doesn't have to be region specific, just things like generally how much would 400sq foot deck cost based on peoples experiences/knowledge and how long would it typically take to build. And what instances are permits required, how long(like hours or days) would it take to get a deck building permit and those types of stuff.

            Wood deck and stone patios are the only ones I really even knew about, never knew about stone decks or wooden patios(if those are common)

              Because I didn't know whether to post this in this in the NCAA or NFL off-topic thread, it goes here.

              I finished my log and have the final figures. This year, I watched 474 games of football. You can see the list here.

              The flood severely limited my watching capabilities, as I was crashing on somebody's couch for an entire semester. There was actually a clean split between college and NFL games, both at 229 each, which if you know me is strange.

              All things considered, 474 is a pretty good clip for this hellish year.

                    Oh I didn't know...just saw it on the shelf the other day. Your feedback on them is disappointing.

                    It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                            Been off work the past two days due to my son being ill. Walked into work today saw all the backlog work piled up on my desk and considered turning around and walking back out.
                            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                            I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                              This is good news. You never want the place to run too smooth while you're out. They'll start thinking they don't need you.

                                Yeah wasn't suggesting that it was really bad news, just the fact that I really didn't want to deal with it.
