Ok this is one of the last pieces that's going to go on the end of the deck, it's not very large, but we have to measure it twice. Make sure it's right. Keep your hands and fingers out either way. And that's the last board for the deck. Ok now this is the very end piece, it's the trim. It's called a traditional board, it doesn't have a tongue and groove, it's rounded on the corners of it. It's already been notched out here for the four by four post on each end. When you cut this you need to cut the top, this very specifically and then go to the back, it's not quite as necessary. And then the piece will pop out. This is nice stuff because it's hollow in here and it doesn't weigh like the solid stuff. Ok so you take the last board, the trim board you fit it in there. And get a couple of screws. Make sure it's up nice and high, don't sink your screws through all the way. And that's the end of the deck.
