Railing and Deck Steps

It is cold today!  We did get a little bit of work done, and I wanted to post a couple of daytime pictures of the railing with the ornamental top on it...  It isn't attached yet, but there is time for that when it is a little bit warmer than today...

We did get the posts and decking on the steps...

This first picture shows the deck railing with the top on, and the second one is for my wife to see that the porch roof really does line up with the peak...  ;)

Here are the steps before the posts were on...

Here is my helper and the steps with the posts...  Note that the post tops perform their intended function just fine!
