magic etc.

As you can see in the opening photo, there was originally a Borges style door (to infinity) on the north side of the building.
The original intention was to reuse my Brooklyn roof deck after agreeing to remove it in a sale contingency. This would be its third application since it was originally the ceiling of a Whiskey factory in the Carolinas. Unfortunately, the Upstate building inspector is no more lenient than in Brooklyn. This Whiskey material is apparently highly combustible and not rot-proof so it's illegal. We ended up building a regular cedar deck (using 'renewed' cedar). Now there is that standard issue design problem; to come up with an elegant railing solution which by code can not have more than a four inch gap between rails. The deck is small, but a perfect place to watch the moon rise from my new/found spring-loaded chair.

Desperately seeking an elegant rail solution.
