Today is officially 3 months into the deck project. We're getting there but it's taking a while as you can see. Since my last update, we have stained and installed the stair support, poured a footing for the end of the stairs, installed more support posts, finished laying deck boards and added posts for the railings. Still to do is laying the stair treads, cutting some of the posts for the railing so they are level and staining & installing the railings. Slow and steady.

Close-up of the stair side. Eventually, we will have a landscaping bed/retaining wall that goes under the stairs. This will hopefully keep traffic to a minimum under this space. Another phase of the project will include a paver patio at the stair landing and outward, as well.
We will carry the landscaping beds to the left of the stairs in between the two support posts. Then a walkway right in front of the sliding door where those adirondack chairs are.
View from the top. All the siding has been put back up after installing the door. Unfortunately, it laid in the grass for a month so it's a bit dirty. Powerwashing needs to happen. Joe also ran electrical so we are ready for an outdoor light to the left of the door once I get around to picking one out.
The landing area before the stairs all ready for railings.
Looking out from the door. I need a wide angle lens because these photos don't show how huge the space is.
More posts ready for railing. And a view of our neighbors ugly playground and overgrown yard.
That's it for now! Hopefully it won't be 3 more months before you see the next installment!
