Build it right, people

When you are building something, build it right. No matter what you are building just DO IT RIGHT - use the right materials, the proper methods, get the right advice, use the right equipment, or just hire it out.

Cheaper is not necessarily better - in fact, almost always not with building materials.

Get posts that are long enough. Get joists that are big enough. Get the correct hardware. Use the right tools. Get the right level of treatment if you are building around water.

Do it right. Do it right. Do it right.
