Rot problem625 viewsAfter removing a lot of siding and sheathing, we found the rot extended all the way to the foundation, directly under the left side of the patio door.

Completed rails before finishing612 viewsAnother view of the completed railing. If you look carefully to the left of this picture, you will see the almond wrought-iron railing leading downstairs. This railing was also replaced, but not at the time this picture was taken.

Wave Slide607 viewsIn the front is the smaller wave slide. It has a bump in the middle which makes it quite fun-- even for adults!

Upper rail complete591 viewsThe next step was to remove the other wrought-iron railing. This railing was one large piece, making up the straight upper section, and the angled section down the stairs (see the "before" pictures above). We also removed the trim board underneath the railing, so it could be replaced with a new oak board finished to match the new railing. We used the same procedure as above to install the small upper railing at the top of the stairs.

Angled Ballusters584 viewsHere Tim installs some of the balusters on the angled railing. Each baluster needed to be carefully miter-cut to the proper angle. As with the railings above, careful math and codes dictated the spacing between baluster spindles.

Adding the lower deck582 viewsAt this point, the three major frames were all installed, and Tim works on adding the decking for the lower deck. The special green brackets are in use here -- on the right side just under the lower deck you can see two in use (the others are still waiting to be used).

All doors open566 viewsThe garage door rolls up just like a real door. The Power Wheels jeep fits inside with plenty of play-room, and he can always back it out for more space, just like daddy does with the real garage!
