The deck at my family’s Shack” has never had a railing. Dogs, kids and intrepid adults have spent over thirty years jumping off the edge and climbing back up without the benefit of steps. But the powers that be in home owners insurance decreed it must have one… or else.
So now it has one… 
… and I’ve never seen the deck look so hazardous.
I mean really, right?
That’s a much higher jump now! Stupid insurers. 🙂
[…] I learned that this railing still doesn’t seem “safer.” […]
