decking is down and I started the railings. I also figured out how to inline a picture with Skydrive. I am still getting used to this deck. I was skimming the pool last night standing on the ground to the right in the picture and my wife asked if it would be easier if I were standing on the deck. :-D
So, looking at the west end with the railings. the pool slide is going to be on the right in this picture. In the left hand corner I will build a bench with storage.
a closeup of the railings. This is the 5th deck I have built. On this one I added a bottom rail rather than attach the balusters tot he deck as is typically done here. It looks nicer. I also did the posts differently so I can wrap the entire outside with balusters. It looks cleaner this way.
