Upper Rear Deck

I finally finished painting the outside of the house, just a few details left, trim windows and fascia. I have replaced 2 of 4 fascia boards so far, it is not easy to do, lucky my friend Tom is helping me do the ladder work. You have to de-nail the old board, use it as a template for the new board, pre-nail the new board, lift it in place and hammer it home. The next board we do has electrical wires attached to it, so we need to secure the power lines before we replace the fascia board, we will need to be careful on that day!!

I started work on the upper rear deck, I took out the stairs and removed the railings. The stairs are gone for good, since this will eventually be a bedroom deck. Next I need to custom order a 2x12x24 cedar fascia for the deck, then make my posts, add railing and balusters. My budget is $1200 for the railings. It will look pretty cool when I am done.
