We took a short trip with the kiddo, but came home a day early as none of us were getting sleep. So I finally had time to deal with a bit of a rot problem on our deck. It took the standard 3 extra trips to the hardware store. I'm mostly amazed I was able to do demolition without causing more damage. The bad state of the wood helped quite a bit. You could tear a lot of it apart with your bare hands. I'm glad I got it done, but there's always more to do. Buh.

- Top of support post that has thoroughly rotted. The hand rail is exposed. (remote)
- The backside of the post. It's a little tough to see, but the rot continues down the post. Mushrooms are growing off the post. There had been more earlier, but I had brushed them off. (remote)
- A view of my deck from the back with the section of the hand rail tossed to the ground. Watch your step! I hadn't yet removed the problematic post. (remote)
- A view of the deck after I finished rebuilding the section I demolished. It is now probably as safe as it ever has been. (remote)
