Hi!
First time posting in DIY. My boss is out of the country on vacation and he left me this awesome deck to build. We poured the footers and set the beams before he left. I've been taking pictures of my solo progress:
Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

Day 4:

Day 5:

Day 6:

I ran out of decking screws or I could have prolly finished Saturday.

Ok, so...back to work today. I got it filled in to where the pieces are so short that they bust when I screw them in. Not really sure how to complete the inner circle. Suggestions? I was thinking plywood...or wait until my boss gets back on wednesday and let him figure it out.

2 ways I'd consider, pre drill and countersink the screw holes or if the budget allows, use a centerpiece of interest, I'd toss a fire pit up on that bitch

I agree..
I wouldn't use plywood. It'll look like crap in less than a year.. predrill and countersink for the win...
looks great Tao! Nice job

Well, he finished by making a solid piece of wood to fit the center. Right now he's got his above ground pool on it and that structure is supporting 9,000 lb's of water!
