You can see by the above picture that our deck is really coming along. I have given hubby credit for doing a good job. I'm not sure if he knows what to do when it comes to the stairs. My daughter's boyfriend said he was going to help with the stairs, a railings and then he is going to install a gas line for the barbecue directly to the house. Oh, and he wants lights out there too.
In examining the deck I see some of the boards are hanging over the pool ledge. If he cuts them off then a lot of saw dust is going into the water so not sure what his plan is there. He should have measured them... unless he plans on leaving like that but they are uneven.
Some of the wood has been stained twice so the rest of the wood still has to get a second coat, hence the double colours... though I don't think the different colours look too bad.

@patgalca Looking at the deck,it is difficult to believe he is not handy.But I am sure,when finished (with some help from others of course) it will be fantastic.
