The unusual shaped deck

It looks ok, but, I run my decking over the top of the skirt board, and the area by the grill where it comes to a point doesn’t flow with the deck and looks like a huge trip hazzard, I would either remove it, or put railing up there.

I think I’d have been inclined to modify the brick patio to make the corner a little more graceful. It does look like its a spot that might cause some trips and bruising.

Well, if the customer is happy, put the check in the bank. Karson and Woodchuck expressed my concerns.

Nice job, but I agree with the above, that corner could be a problem.

We as builders don’t always agree with the eye of the client. This lady knew exactly how she wanted it to look and was very happy with the result. I had to bite my tongue with the patio because she told me she did it herself and it should stay. She also wanted the rail to only cover that one end and stop at the fence line. The fence should have come down.

Then a great job pleasing the customer. What more can you ask for except a double payment.
