The deck

Here are a few shots of the new deck. I stained it earlier this week with an oil-based sealant. It turned out darker than I was picturing - I thought I was getting a clear stain and didn't really realize what it was going to look like till I was about 1/3 done. Too late then, so I just kept going.
The railings are polished copper tubing with rebar inside for strength. It has a clear coat to protect the finish and keep it shiny.
My next plan is to put some pots with flowers, a bistro table and chairs, etc to decorate the space. Right now we're just enjoying the pristine beauty.
