Stop in for a cup of coffee
Just checking in with a dEck picture. Busy, busy... Worked yesterday, so not much progress. The top of this beam wasn't rotted, but it was getting porous. I picked up a can of wood hardener. :eek: Stuff is super thin (and super smelly) The pair of 10ft 2xs absorbed it like nothing. At 20 a pint, that was the end of that plan. Once that was dry I spread a tube of neoprene caulk over it. (another $10)... It’s 15 years old already. I figure that should make it last longer than I will care. Outer beam gets more air flow and is pretty solid other than one bad rot area that won't matter structurally. I dug out and filled with PC7. Anyway... I think I am finally ready to put the boards on.
