[Meatloaf] Anyone know/recommend a handyman for simple deck work?

[Steve Blendermann]

I used Armadillo. It also has the grooves and hidden clips. I bought longer planks then I needed (needed 18', bought 20') in order to avoid joints. Yes, it does get hot. But I figure it's worth it to not have to sand/stain every few years.   
  

  
Since I had boards from the decking, rather than move joists, I added between them in between for 12" on center. No way that deck is going to sag!

The Trex planks have grooves in the sides that run the full length of the plank.    There are clips that attach to the joists and they fit into the grooves to accomodate expansion/contraction.    Trex is not dimensionally stable.    A 10 foot plank expands and contracts a quarter imch.    This makes joints a bit of a challenge.    It DOES get quite hot in the summer.
