No pun intended, (cutting the deck away) but we have to build a new deck this spring. Rob, Jill and Laura started the demo while we were out of town. It is going to be a BIG job. The support beam warped and the whole thing was sloping down. We had a "whiskey barrel" planter on the deck and I had Karl run a sprinkler line to it so I wouldn't have hand water it every day in the brutal heat of the summer. Little did we know that as the water drained out it would soak the wood support beneath and bend under the weight of the deck.
This is 27 feet by 12 feet, and it's 25 years old, but should have held up a little longer. I'll keep you posted.
