Railing installation on the last section of deck required measuring.
So much measuring.
I figured 16 balustrades, at 5 1/2 inches apart.
Which the husband started to implement and then chose to ignore.
Why did he change the spacing?
I have no idea.
But he continued on his path.
And shockingly, something was off.
There he is with the little level again.
Silly man, didn’t he learn anything from the baby barn?
When he reached the end? He had too much room to leave it open, but not enough room to evenly space a rail.
So he jammed one in anyway, because at that point he didn’t care.
I did, but managed to swallow my criticism. It was done, and looked a damn sight better than it used to.

I’m pleased with it, as long as I don’t focus on symmetry.
It’s a cleaner, more modern look.
But now I can’t decide if the white lattice panel should stay or go.
Guess that can wait till I restain the deck.
IF you would have had any consideration you would have left that space open for the neighbors–the ones who didn’t need a large space like the chipmunks, squirrels, fox, etc.!!!

It looks nicer yes, and no one will notice the symmetry but you I think, and maybe the hubs.

Nicer is all we were hoping for without tearing it all down and starting fresh.

Looks great, even with the odd-spaced baluster; gives that section character, and you something to write about!

I think it looks great. And “balustrade” is such a fun and fancy word.

Love the new look! If you stay slightly inebriated (did I spell that right?), you’ll never know that the balustrades are slightly off. 🙂
