Today had some showers. But we were able to work without heat/sun stroke.
Kiery and Dad were able to get the framing done to make this deck a safe one. They added more joists to be 16" on center. Then added blocking to cause all of the joists to work together.
It was interesting that some of the existing joists sagged more than an inch and a quarter. So they moved a couple around and sistered them together to level and strengthen them.
Also they worked to plumb up the remaining posts so the new railing will look right since we are using some of the existing posts as subposts.
A few photos from today.
