Beautiful day here - the sun comes out then suddenly som dark clouds. My jacket has been on and off a dozen times today. Later!

This is the view from the outside. Does it look too busy? (Off to Easter dinner now... more later!)

This is the rail design I want to use and this (small) section wil help me visualize. The horizontal board halfway up is to simulate the bench seat to be implemented elsewhere.

I am glad I went with the cedar 4x4s. The deck sure looks solid now...

I got the top-facing rail up but not the cap... I ran out of wood. It is not easy finding wood on Easter Sunday!

Tomorrow I will start the horizontal boards... See ya

Today I started the deck railing by using cedar 4x4.

Finally, here are our newest trees - these beauties were found at Costco for $32 each. I think one may go in front and the other in back. More later!

Another angle.....

Today I planned to start with the railing for the upper deck and quickly learned how expensive it is going to be.

The decking is now complete but the railing and stairs are next.

Today I cut into my water main to insert a valve for my sprinkler system. This was a successful operation thanks to my neighbor Brian. The large pipe is my access to the valve 3.5' feet below. The other two pipes are for the sprinkler system - one is to go to the sprinkler system valves and the other is used to blow out the system each fall.
