2-16-12 Decking begins...

 The screens for the big openings are finally all on site!  I think they will be pretty cool when they are place in the openings...it will be interesting to see if they block much light.
 Danny has an elegant solution to the offset on the south side of the deck.
 Dennis on one of the awnings getting ready to put in the two turnbuckles.

 Rick and Trent discussing the railing system.  I got out about as far as Rick, but I think I will wait until the decking is all in place before spending much time out there!
 The first Ipe board being notched out to fit around the steel posts.
 Angel and Miguel working to place the boards and found that they have to pre drill all the holes because the wood is so hard.
 They are all also having to round the edges that butt together.  A lot of work but the details are worth the effort.
 From the east, almost all the siding is on the decks support.  One more wall to go tomorrow?
