Once again the sheathing and studding were unusable.

This is the right side of the deck. This shows more rot removal. Once again the sheathing and studding were unusable. |
 |
Finally we are starting to replace everything. The sheathing has been replaced with plywood and the seams covered with Ice and Water Shield. The exterior electrical outlet has been replaced as well. |
 |
We are beginning to wrap things up....literally. The Tyvek House Wrap will help protect against moisture |
 |
The siding has been stained BOTH sides off site and allowed to dry. Staining the back side adds another layer of moisture protection. |
 |
The deck framing is now going back in place. This time however the deck has been spaced away from the house. Maine Deck Brackets have been used in this instance to keep the ledger board about 4" from the house for water drainage. |
 |
This view shows the 'Birds Foot' of the joists. The original stairs have been temporarily put in place without the decking. |
  |
The decking has begun. The decking boards are 5/4 Cedar as opposed to the original Pressure Treated wood. |
 |
Everything is back together. The original railing was saved and the customer will stain the deck at a later date. All the replaced trim on the house was primed both sides before being applied. The customer was extremely pleased.....as were we. |
