So it was a lovely day today and the railing install started. Not so easy if your deck isn't 100% true or level. Some minor adjustments had to be made and one section slightly trimmed. That done, things went pretty well. Only have another 6 deck boards to screw down. I figured it out and I only have to screw into the boards 956 2.5" wood screws. Thankfully I have a couple of good corded drills. By-law requires that the railing is screwed to the decking using 6" x 3/8" lag bolts into blocker plates. Kind of overkill but these railing won't move anywhere.
While I was doing this some idiot set an old dump truck on fire in the field just south of us. Big event in Cobourg, we got one Rescue Pumper, one EMS unit, three Cobourg Police cruisers and the Cobourg Safety Unit? along with a photog from the local paper. Truck was a write off but it was junk anyway. Only the second time I've seen a fire truck on call since we moved
here from Scarborough, far cry from the city.
