In reply to Katharine. Thanks Katharine! The clear railings are quite tempting, and if we had more modern house, we would go for it. This is the one time it bums me out to stick to the history of our Victorian. :)

Looks fabulous, did you consider clear view railings? Wouldn’t obscure your view (as much)

Yes! I’m sure that once it’s finished, we will be using it a lot more than we did before. 🙂

We decided not to keep the angle because it takes A LOT more wood (a lot more waste from the angled cuts), and we didn’t mind that putting them in straight would be a lot less time and work either. 😉

Argh! So much work and so little time to enjoy it.
I like how it’s angled 45 degrees of the house walls, that’s interesting. Will you angle the new deck too?

Your deck is aboslutely amazing. I feel like having dinner al fresco just seeing your pictures. It’s going to be a lot of work, but it’ll be worth it!

It’s going to be wood again (just delivered, yay!). The no-maintenance thought sure was tempting, but I would just miss the feel and sound of natural wood too much. It’s good to know that they are improving though…our front porch isn’t far behind the deck, so I’ll consider it for there after hearing your review! 🙂

So I’m curious, what are you going to rebuild the deck out of? I love wooden decks, but my parents’ deck is built out of the newer composites and it looks amazing and requires almost no maintenance. I’m looking forward to the updates!
