First, he built this railing to protect the kids from falling into the garden, and protecting the garden from the kids. :)
He also granted my wish of wrap-around steps off the deck... I can't believe how much bigger the deck feels because of this simple thing! You really notice it when multiple people are standing around talking because you can spread out without feeling like you'll stumble off the deck. Also, notice, the alternating board design of the step corner... this means we see minimal end grain... nice touch!
