Thanks, Fig. I've not yet decided what to do here. I'm certainly no electrician and I'm not looking forward to cutting the deck. I suppose one option would be to fill in the holes and forego the handrail but small kids seem to like it and I don't want to be a grinch! The water temp was 54F yesterday so I've got a little time to mull it over. I'll post when it's time. Finally getting some rain this week. Maybe I won't have to violate the water ban to top up the pool....
