Deck - Week 7

Starting to plank the other side

Saturday started out nice so I planked the other half of the deck and also finished the step from the kitchen door.

Saw setup on the deck

Having the saw on the deck made things go much faster. Less up and down the stairs saved a lot of time.

Completed step and second half of the deck

Sunday started out rainy (typical I can't seem to get two full days each weekend) but cleared after noon so I finished up some fastenings along the center line, step and outer frame.

One lonely railing

I installed one railing as a reference and also as a test to see how they go together. The railing system we chose has very vague instructions. Now that it's in place, the rest can be built using jigs developed from this first section.
