Nice work.
One thing - did you extend the downspouts away from the foundation wall? From the first few pictures I could see them discharging water right on the foundation but you cant tell if they were extended under the deck after it had been built.

Bernie, MO | I don't have a picture of it, but on the deck yes. I cut a hole through the decking, and installed a rectangular downspout -> 4" pvc adapter and ran the pvc to the front of the deck to discharge the water. On the 'patio' side I have not done so yet, but I have the materials.

I asked because if its forgotten then it never gets done (after the deck has been completed)

One more thing - it might be stupid question. The white handrails and posts, are they vinyl or wood?

Blasphemy!
Yep it is a 'chocolate' beer. It has a strong chocolate aftertaste along with a roasted character. I added 4oz of ghana cocoa nibs to the secondary for 2 weeks and 1oz of belgian cocoa powder when it went into the keg. That keg didn't last long..
My other project which I did in Decemeber as a christmas present to myself. (I think this can go here as I think it's furniture, right??)
What I am brewing right now (ready to go into the bottle - a Bourboun Oak Vanilla Porter:

I started reading this thread for Home Improvement stuff. Great work on the projects. Move the beer chat to another thread though. Derailing the thread sucks. |

We don't really have a beer forum here...so until then I think this is the perfect place for it.
And no I'm not biased at all....
