House drawing in a house in front of a house

Last time I briefly mentioned that I had mostly finished the deck railing but needed to attach a grasp. Since the Trex planks already needed support across the 5' post gaps, it made sense to attach them by screwing upward and having a clean top.

I wanted to use a T-shaped piece of steel or aluminum, but the only 3" option was an L. I notched the posts and screwed them in from the side while using big finishing nails on the top.

The grasp went on easily with construction adhesive, screws, and Jes pushing down on the top.

The outside of the posts have a trim plank to keep the sun off of structural elements.

The left segment has just the aluminum L, the right segment is finished.

I'm not in love with the color combination but this was the lightest color Trex and it is unwalkable (in bare feet) in summer.

Now that the upper deck is complete, I can work on the remaining two walls beneath.
