Next Step - String and 2x4 brackets.



Took Nathanael to his dancing today, and then went to RONA (see previous post) and got a line level. They didn't have any when I started....


Next step was to put the string on the posts, and to nail the 2x4 brackets to the posts. If you look closely, you will notice that the corner is NOT 90 degrees.... I'm following the concrete already laid out, so the posts are not exactly where I would like to have them. I'm accomodating this a bit by putting the brackets on the posts in such a way so that the boards are a bit closer to 90 degrees than they would be otherwise. So... in the first photo, the brackets are off to the side of the post, closest to the concrete. In the second photo, the brackets are closer to the middle. The same thing will be happening with the other side.
