Getting ready to start decking.

The height difference was just enough to tuck the decking under the upper deck.

The decking needed a little trimming.

That's better.

Leveled the handrail posts all directions. (plumb)

He expects perfection.

Tap a couple screws to hold the position.

We used a 1/2" bit.

Two 1/2" bolts with washers on each end.

They were a little snug and need a little help.

Then we wrenched them tight.

This is the detail we chose where the handrail met in a corner.
