Planks and Rails

The choc rails are now attached and set with bedding compound. I would probably use some sort of caulking in the future as the bedding compound never quite cured. I used epoxy on the corner joints to fill in the gaps and to seal the end grain against seepage. Finally I went around the entire rail with caulking. You may notice that I also caulked between all the planks in the floor. I was originally only going to lay down tarpaper between the planking and the subflooring but the more I looked at the gaps between the planking, and the more I thought about the amount of spray that was going to be coming through those gaps, I figured more caulking was probably a very good idea.
