As expected, lots of progress on Day 10. Decking has been completed, with the exception of the stair treads that await ungrooved material (to be delivered later this week).
All but the stair posts were sleeved today, which is not as simple as dropping the sleeve over the post, slipping on the base molding and slapping a cap on the top. Each requires shimming the inside of the top and bottom to insure a tight and aligned fit that will stay firmly in place. Not sure why TimberTech doesn't make the inside fit more snugly against a standard 4x4, but perhaps they cannot simultaneously make it snug without creating installation issues caused by normal variation in 4x4 thickness.
Here are a few other perspectives on the deck.
Standing at the west end looking east toward the sunrise.
One from the east end of the top looking down at the stairs.
And one from the patio looking more straight at the deck.
Next stop will be railing, which I will likely see today. All coming together.

Very nice and pics are most interesting. You certainly have married the patio to the house and deck in a positive way.
