What we thought would only take a few more nights to complete has stretched out into weeks. The final touches are filled with complicated and challenging miter cuts... some compound which slows the process.
Along with the limited daylight has also come a lot of rain.
The other night, just when I felt overwhelmed with yet another storm approaching, threatening to cut our night of work short yet again... there is was... an incredible, full, double rainbow arching across my backyard!!! It was incredible. And for the five or so minutes that it lasted... all work stopped... minus the three minutes or not... besides... on came the rain and once again work was halted. But this time, it just didn't seem to matter.
. 
Since that night... the last of the front deck has been burned....
The back steps, lattice and fascia all completed... nothing but the top rail to put on...
Out front... The steps were removed, lattice power washed and reinforced, deck planks laid, new fascia attached... news steps and rails are all that remains....
Minus three minutes every day or not.... it will get done... it might take a little longer than hoped... but it will get done.

the dwindling daylight does pose a challenge but i am glad you took a few minutes to enjoy the rainbow and even share it with us. just lovely.
Vines...yep...you need vines. I love the corner stairs...a nice touch breaking up the square symetry.
You're quite welcome Lime.... and 46... NO VINES!!!! They are dirty, require far too much maintenance and although nice to provide shade on hot summer days... block all the moonshine and starlight... more than anything, I love sitting out on my deck at night looking at the stars...
Long ago the stairs were in the middle... it was such a waste of space... I too love having them in the corner.
VINES!
More Vines....
very nice dragonfly!
Thank you KK... it's getting there... almost done.
