Renovations Part II

The major summer renovations are finished. Not only did I redo the deck covering and the railings but I painted the walls in our master bedroom and redid the shelving in Ruth's walk-in closet. Now I can go back to work to recuperate!

This is a look from inside the closet and the next two pictures are of the new vinyl covering and the aluminum railings that I installed.

New decking and railings Part one


About 50 of the 150 posts that I installed about 22 years ago had deteriorated to the point that they would have to be replaced. Ruth wanted the same style of posts; unfortunately, no manufacturer could be located and the lathes that I found to make them myself were too small. These are the before pictures of the deconstruction. I'll show the reconstruction pictures of the after job later. This was a three week job.
