Re: CRGRS 66 – Winter Build Thread
Hey Guys
I have been MIA since, oh, about March...
The deck on the house we bought about a year ago was something I new needed to be replaced, there was an issue with the footings. About 16 feet out from the house the deck was about 9" higher than at the patio doors. Being attached to the house, it was causing stress to the building and during this past, very cold winter, those patio doors were binding, making it difficult to open/close.
I started dismantling the deck in March, and discovered the reason for the deck lifting. The moron who built it only went down 2 feet with his footings. Not only this, but he appeared to have set the 4x4's in the ground, and filled around them with cement... IDIOT!!!! This is Canada, footings must go down 4 feet, this is also not a fence.....
Here are a couple pictures to get you started.
