This weekend I have to design my deck. It turns out my deck has to have railings. I hate railings; they clutter things up and ruin the view, and most standard designs are really ugly, imho. I had assumed I would be able to have benches on the edge of my deck, in place of railings. Alas, no. Apparently anything that a child could possibly climb in any imaginable situation is not up to code, including the sparest of railings, the metal cable railings like the one below, which are frankly the only kind of railing I would have even deigned to consider before yesterday:
So my deck is going to have a much more enclosed feeling than I want it to.I'm rethinking the whole concept. Drat!
I cheerily went about all sorts of fun house-related errands today: I made some headway with paint colors and finally bought a set of cheap but pretty house numbers, a mailbox, and the cutest little light fixtures for the back entry at Lowe's. I love it when the item I like best is also cheap!
