This past April, I went to Virginia to build a small deck. It took 3 1/2 days for 3 of us to build the
entire thing, including digging all of the post holes with a 12" gas powered auger.

Veiw from the back yard
The house has very tall lines. The posts were left long and then capped with copper caps to compliment the tall lines
of the house.
Deck Garden and Walkway
The home owner had a garden next to the house that had large imported day lillies that they wanted to keep outside of
the breakfast nook window. We created the garden with an integrated bench seat to frame the entire area.
Deck Railing Detail
The deck is free floating and needed space for the 6x6 copper caps. The railing detail was inserted to minimize the empty
space between the post and the house.
Chillin' Out
At the end of the day, sit down, chill out, and look at the view.
