Complete deck building book

Before I start any major project, I always purchase a manual to make sure I understand all the requirements and see if there are any new ideas. This is my second Black & Decker building book and it is excellent. The manual covers almost all aspects of the subject from design to building and maintaining a deck. I especially like the step by step construction details for laying out the deck, digging and pouring the piers, constructing the framing, and all other aspects of the project. Building codes are also covered. Of course, local codes variations are not addressed. I highly recommend this book for any DIYer wanting to build a deck.
