Something to show

I finally have some 'after' pictures to show. The deck boards have all been installed, fastened, and trimmed. To prepare for the Ipe Oil, I'm halfway through sanding, but you get the point. Besides the oil finish, what remains for this little deck is the wire balusters and the Ipe hand rail.

The landing is really large in the photo, but rather nice in reality. With only three steps no hand rail is required.

Here you can see that I have also put up the fascia everywhere except for the future stairs to the garage rooftop deck (on the left.) The Ipe should darken up very nicely after applying the oil, as if it were raining - it's a matter of time....
