6:38 You can hear the disappointment in his voice when he realizes he has to set about 300 nails before he sands.

Tommy saves the day again!!

fun and games till tounge and groove..

I would've gone down the idea of attaching a 'scab block' (fixed to the front ledger board and between the joists) to that beam @ 3:22 That is thick enough to enable a shanked nail to fix through the floor board onto that 'scab block'. Still a fiddly job. Well done.

"I hope it fits" 😆😆😆😆

Ok but I don’t like that… what to do when those boards go? Was hoping for a better solution. I❤this old house and I’m keep educating myself

would this work on a back porch too

Screw the shim into the band board. Open the storm door and smack the decking under, then pull it back under the other side with a screw matching the joist location.

How would a tongue and groove board be removed? The only thing I can think of is running a circular saw down the center of the board, use a hand saw to extend the cuts to the ends, and then pry the two strips up from the center cut?.

I think I would have wedged a block between the shelf and the ground to support the repair.

@rels9273

Жыл бұрын

The block would rot from ground contact, and also the ground moves, especially in places that freeze. You need a proper foundation, below the frostline to do that. i.e. it's not practical for a repair like this.

How about his cutting method? He held the board in the air with one hand and drive the circular saw with the other hand. And did so right above the other floor boards.

Rent an industrial floor sander (the belt is about 12" x 30" and the unit looks like a large upright vacuum). We did our deck (80'x12') in less than 3 hours. We used up about 10 sanding belts. Make sure to pound those nails in 1/8th of an inch in beforehand and it'll turn out great. For tight areas use a hand held belt sander.

people are cheap. If they had the budget just take the bottom layer of siding off to get access and replace all the boards with composite decking. it's not that wide so it would probably good with 12ft boards cut in half. looks like 1x4 now and composite is 1x6 so go from roughly 60 boards by the looks to 40 boards cut in half is 20 12-footers at $34 a piece is about $700. as a DIY project if you get a deal on bulk for the boards is a good deal and the deck will never need any work again for as long as they own the house and will look amazing.
