Railings

One of my bigger jobs during the first week was getting up the cable railings on the deck and along the entry way bridge.

The posts are 2" angle iron which I cut down, and then drilled 16 holes in them. There is also another 8" angle iron piece for bolting the posts to the face of the deck. These have 4 holes in them. There are 32 posts. So in the course of the past few months, I have been drilling 640 holes before and after work in the iFLOOR warehouse because doing it at the apartment was sort of out of the question.

When I was done drilling everything, I took them down to Sean to powdercoat black. Then I ordered the cable from Sound Construction. There is still a 2x6 cap that will be installed, but the deck is a lot more safe feeling now.
