Living on the edge
Merry Christmas to you all !!
The deck and railings are done! Hooray. Doesn’t look too inviting right now with the snow, but I can imagine great times out there in warmer weather. Staircase and stair railings are to be completed before the end of the year!
The decking is finally all on, just in time for a coating of snow and ice. We need some railings, we need the final section of stairs and some final finishing details. But we almost have our deck back!
After two months on the job, almost all the new windows and doors are in (except for one sliding door on the lowest level). Two new ceilings, one new wall, one new sillplate under the front door area, lots of painting — and the indoor work is almost done. The carpenters are back on the deck project and yesterday built these stairs to nowhere. Actually they go to the landing, but the next set are needed to get to the deck level. Then the railing posts will go up and clamps will go down that hold the decking down (no nails or screws in the decking surface) and the decking will go on. It is so good to be in the construction phase again after so much destruction and re-construction for the past three weeks.
