It's now been replaced with this.
Here's a beauty shot.
It's slightly crooked but that's the way it was originally framed, and to change that would have required a lot more work. So crooked it stays. Other then that, the rotten stuff was replaced with treated wood, the deck got yet another doubled joist, and with the aid of my bro-in-law, and a friendly policeman, we got the heavy stuff up and in, and then did a nice casing of the cantilevered framing with 5/4" X 6" decking boards. The vent goes to the fireplace insert, that's the supply for the combustion air.
I know the coaxial cable is hanging down, but I don't have a subscription anyway. It will be carefully put in place next weekend. The white paint is primer. The casing will get a coat of primer next week Then it gets painted grey along with the new skirt board beneath it. I still need to add more strong-ties and about 8 BFNs*, but the deck is now pretty sturdy.
