Default Two Story Decks
Are evil! But if done right the first time I would not be achy all over.

6x6x12' boards- 5(Heavy) replaced 4x4's for foundation.

Oh and nails versus deck screws!
I really dislike the person who first built my deck, and used nails on a two stroy structure!

Sometimes old screws are harder to get out then nails, it all depends. Either way I would use screws, they just hold better.
