The Deck

The Deck

Nov 03

 

Took a few days off work to take advantage of the unseasonably warm weather for November over here in Ohio and get some much needed work done around the house before the bad weather hits.

 

The deck railing’s bottom board split and a baluster had come out. This made the rest of them loose which left this section of railing very unsafe.

 

As usual, I got too eager and forgot to get a before shot of it all screwed up and in need of repair.

 

Here is a shot of it just after I pulled the damaged railing section off. It came off way too easily which means it was really unsafe and way over due for repair.

Here’s a quick picture of it all put back together, fixed right, and most importantly it’s rock solid and safe!

The project looked easy, but I way under estimated it and it ended up taking me all day to finish.

 

If the weather cooperates, I’ll get it stained to match the rest of the deck soon. If not, it will have to wait for Spring. Regardless, it’s one more item off my list.

 

 As with any home, there are many more things that need fixed around here. Gonna be tackling them one at a time in hopes of getting most done before the holidays.
