    I my experience, by the time the roof gets added, the posts will twist or warp.
    I think she wants turned columns too.

    Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I'm sure glad it wasn't MD summer or winter when we did it.

    That is a HUGE improvement over that ramshackle structure built with too-short pre-made stair stringers going the wrong direction, no railing, and.... I'm not even gonna get into it :picard: Nice job you and the family crew did! I'm sure the homeowner is ecstatic.

    Shade over $3K in materials from Lowe's. Our local builder supply beat that price by $300, but needed it paid off in 30 days.

    My first thought was oooh, a good, out of sight storage place for crap I keep because it is "too good to throw away, and I don't want to give it away because I could use it later" (which of course I never do - LOL.
