Nice job
At least you have finished yours lol Mine is still an on going project when I got time to work on it shame really as I love working on it one of my fav jobs im working on at the moment.
One thing! Where you have your seating area and you have them floating tops in the corners and middle I feel like you should of carried your spindles and hand rail around as it feels to open. It looks nice from the decking but from the side looking at it it just feels its missing something and another rail maybe along the other side of the stairs ?

The design for the deck came from an old deck brochure that looked like it was from the 70's. The home owners liked the style. I liked the style too, simple and very functional. I see lots of built in seating on decks that is in poor taste. I hate the style that has the handrail leaning out at an angle and a seat hanging off it.
There is no electricity at this house. With the power of sketchup we precut everything at the shop and assembled it on site. I was going to use this project as an excuse to get a cxs but in the end just could not justify it. Makita and Ridgid are the drills that got the job done.
No building codes or inspectors around here. It can be a good thing or a bad thing, depends on who you hire i guess.

Thats good how you made it all offsite.
Yeah I know what your saying with the leaning handrail I dont think im very fond of that either.
building inspectors puff sod them never use them with jobs like da.
Has it had a finish or does it still need treating?
Any way Nice job still even with the little bits missing [tongue]!
