Deck is 95% complete. They say you shouldn't work on labor day but I don't mind.
I'll be puting some more deck boards under the gazebo to make it look flush and avoid the crawl space.
I took off the ladder as there is no need for it anymore
Original deck ended at the post on the bottom right, extended another 6 feet to give it a wrap around feel.
Instead of building new stairs we took off the old ones than put them back...BIG MISTAKE!, although our stairs were custom built and better than anything pre made in the store, taking them off was a big pain and putting them back on took more than an hour. Next time build new don't fix old!.
Our existing deck and the pool deck were 2 feet difference in elevation so we built these 2 steps to make up the height. Swing gate will go after the last step.
I was going to make stairs going down which I can still do but for now i completed the gate to close it off, perhaps later I'll make stairs. I'll also be covering up any exposed wood with decking to make it look for a clean finish.
I've ordered some white vinyl lattice which I'll put around the entire pool and deck.
So 2 months ago this is what my backyard looked like.
