good show
I been yelled at and told i am to picky on decks , I have done a few homes where that one fell down. Not the first, a bunch went down with one not to long ago. The one thing they forgot to say that area did not have a building inspector till a year ago. I would say i write about 4 to 5 week here . even on new homes

Deck videos are always a bonus to watch. Thanks.

Here's a deck where I might have saved a life or two...


When I inspected the underside, the joist hangers were attached, but they were pulling away...



This is the type of deck I want to see...

The video was good, except the reference and display of some recommended undersize ledger attachment screws.
