From here it does not look too bad. The existing beam and joists are completely rotten. We completely removed and rebuilt this section.
This section was definitely unsafe. We rebuilt it with new beams, posts and footings.
The basic shape is rebuilt. We put new cover posts in to match the handrail post that are about to be installed.
This section is ready for decking. We added "Trex RainEscape" to this section to give a dry storage place for yard tools.
Trex RainEscape was also installed providing a dry place underneath.
Working with this inspiration a pivot was made to replace the lower deck with a fire pit.
The lower platform needed mostly rebuilt.
Check this out! The black crushed gravel makes the fire pit area pop!
What a difference a month makes!
