I had to take the boards back out as I filled this last section with gravel as it was much easier to fill underneath them when they were not in the way. When I had it mostly filled and tamped down (see my sledgehammer in tamper mode?) I put the boards in again and filled it in the rest of the way. In the last picture you can see how the line where the ends of the deckboards carries along from one frame to the other.

I believe this will be a very, very solid base for the deck. Enough stonework. Let's install the deckboards!
