Biggest party night of the year

I spent the night before Thanksgiving drilling holes in our deck posts. The cable rails will be 1/8", so the holes are 1/4". And we will have double posts on the corners with spacers in between; I overdrilled the holes on the spacers (1/4") so that passing the cables through three sets of holes won't be impossible.


Stained and ready to go:


Assembling the double posts:

    Deck looks great. Now your project checklist can read:
    framing the deck, check
    floor of deck, check
    Framing sides of deck, check
    bolting the rails, check
    posting pics on blog, check
    Are you sure you don't want me to sit down with you and write your checklist?!?
