Stories from the Workbench

One down, two to go

This project has three parts; the replacement deck attached to the back of the house (1), the garage (2), and the deck on the roof of the garage (3).
Part one is complete! The addition of the stainless steel wire balusters and the hand rail finishes off the details. The wire looks really great, in the shade or the sun, and you can see through it as if it were glass - without having to clean it.

The railing curves, of course, to match the profile of the deck's shape.

Without any delay, the lumber was delivered. I had it dropped in the dirt because I did not want to harm the fresh garage floor concrete. I did put down some plywood to keep mud off everything.

One half day later, all was moved to a workable location.

Working around the stacks, 3 out of 4 sides have been framed. Nice.

Beautiful deck and rail job, Tom! It must feel good to be able to start the framing.

    Six years ago this blog began when I began building a detached garage with a rooftop deck connected to our house deck. I did everything then, but now the blog will show some recent projects.
