GMW, I have the brass foot rail if you want to spruce the thing up a bit.  It's long enough to go across the front and down one of the sides.  I also have the caps.  We never did engineer was a way to attach it, there may be some fittings in the bag, but I don't remember..

Cool, that'll match the two "shiny spots" up on the roof.

Hot tub wood panels have been stained now, looks brand fuckin' new!  106% improvement!

Both decks look very nice.



Mike - I was wondering why you did the half walls around the perimeter?

Way good work. I can't wait to come over and "mook" on the new deck.

They were necessary for structural stability.  The two 20 foot long glulam beams moved around too much.

I like them because they provide privacy while sitting in the hot tub.

Hot Tub and WAHTF Bar sanded and stained.

Electrical to the tub is getting done on Thursday.  

The small wall and finishing touches on the deck will done sometime next week.

Tomorrow I'll be picking up two bar stools, small fridge and a small corner table.

Niiiice!

Is the roof slanted? Reinforced? My first thought was, what happens when it snows. Maybe just leave the hot tub open for the winter to keep it warm out there

Yeah, I was wondering why on earth you'd want the top to be heavier than the support ... without having the posts braced.



Of course the roof wood move around too much. I'd still be somewhat concerned about that roof moving. Maybe still need some bracing on the posts at the bottom.

WOW GMW, that's really lookin pretty good.

consequently, I used to own that exact same grill before we moved out here.  Ended up giving it to friends as a wedding gift since we couldn't bring it with us.

You don't have a red hair on your Irish ass to add 105 more rubber ducks to that hot tub under cover of darkness.

Short wall installed, sided and painted.

Railing installed and stained.

Posts wrapped and post tops painted to match.

Gutter will be installed tomorrow morning.

Other than a few odds and ends, I'm gonna call this one done.  If you need me I'll be in the hot tub.

Can you show a little more detail on the ceiling? I'm looking for ideas on how to finish the underside of our deck.

The ceiling and interior walls are IntegraPly exterior grade underlayment.  It has a 25 year warranty against warping and delamination.  It's used primarily as a subfloor and for exterior camper and boat sheating.  It's a 5 ply engineered product that is 5.5 mm thick and very lightweight.  If memory serves me correct, it's about $14.00 for a 4x8 sheet.  The seams were trimmed with 1x2 tight knot cedar.

ETA:  There is not a seam everywhere there is a strip of cedar.  I trimmed it like that on purpose to balance out the offset seam on the right side of the structure.

No stairs. Zack is going to fall down.



EDIT: Nevermind, regardless of stairs, railing, safety harness, or him being in an entirely different zip code, he's going to fall down.

That's the idea.

He's already fallen once, over on the side, remember.

YOu built the entire deck in the wrong place. Now tear it down, and rebuild so the door opens onto that pre-existing landing.

The boards were there to keep the dirt beneath them (had a stump ground out there) from splattering on the siding, in case of rain.  Now that the gutter has been installed they are no longer there.  I am thinking about building a short step in the opening of the deck.  I just haven't had time to do it yet.
