You nail 5 boards together and call that PROGRESS? But, then, my big accomplishment today was to buy 3 boards and bring them home!

Actually I don't have a threshold - it is just a smooth wall. Odd I know, but the house is 30yrs old.

Yeah. Like I said this house is 30 yrs old. Actually in pretty good shape. The old deck was a curious mix of overbuilt and half-@ss Well-built when new and not much was changed.
