Wood deck over concrete front porch.

Concrete screws decking flashing tape plastic shims self leveling compound treated 2x4s.
Drill holes through each counterbore.
Apply foam adhesive to back of trim.
Cut pvc trim boards to wrap around stoop using circular saw.

Thick pvc trim 3 16 x 3 1 4 in.

This part is relatively easy.
Preparation and installing runners and skirts.
