    Went to Dr. Paul Cournoyer in St Vincent’s hospital.   (He has a brother that is a Worcester  Podiatrist also – this can be confusing).         Excellent podiatrist.

For those of you that are more adventurous, check the link I also received as a recommendation... http://www.lowes.com/cd_Build+a+Deck_578806386_ Even though this one was meant as a joke (I think), it contains a very useful graphing tool that allows you to design your deck and calculates the amount/price of all the material needed for that particular design. Just so you know what to expect in terms of material costs.
