Building a porch. #3: Applying the skirting!

I’m kind of working backward, because you usually put the skirting on last,

but I didn’t have the 2’ X 6” material for the railing balusters yet, so that’s why I went this route.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn’t want to rely on the bolts alone to hold up the deck,

so I rabbeted a 4” x 4” to rap around the metal post.
