Default What can happen if decks are not properly supported?

Good image for you. I may start including this every time I call out a deck nailed to a house.

Mark, I got the image from the State of NC's Home Inspector Licensure Board here:

I don't care if you use it.

The above link is a very good training program. I recommend that everyone read it.
