Post too big? Nope, notch too small. But not any more. You can see the little bits I took out and the saw marks their removal left. ONWARD!
I made my way outward from the house until I was working close to the edge of the roof. Then I decided to turn my attention to the side of this section closest to the house. You remember I cut the frame to match the line from the corner of the house to the corner post. Now I had to match that arbitrary cut with some custom deck boards. You can see in the foreground that obtuse triangle of exposed framing.
I laid the a board down and marked a line on top of it where the framing ended underneath, then cut it with my hackzall. Then I used that cutoff to transfer that angle to the board that would be one away from the edge of the deck. I didn't want the edge of the deck to be a thin sliver of a board, I'd rather have more "meat" in that high traffic spot and make up the angle further in from the edge.
