This series has been a zombi story ๐ – always new issues popped up as I was hoping to finish this project. This time it was the deck boards under the post, lower end of post, and mouldings of the posts.
This was another tough series of tasks as it required some physics as it required some estimation of which part of healthy post carries the load and wiggling of the post to find the room to pull out rotten boards and insert new boards and re-adjust the post’s location to spread the loads to newly installed boards.
Plus – this required me to run 45 degree cut on making manual post moulding which was fun! ๐
Did the emergency repair on the rotten & broken wood deck ๐ endless battle against the water (from the gutter) and squirrels who had built a huge vault of pine cones under the deck ๐
