Here is a shot with the top decking on and the bottom being prepped for decking.  The rail boards had to be planed at an angle to match the curve of the bottom for the decking to sit flat so it can be screwed into place.  We were wondering why Thomas Blake had to use screws for the bottom on 3″ centers and found out immediately.  The bottom has so much curve that even with it in two pieces the screws cannot be any further apart than 3″.  More to follow later!
