This was the best instructional video that I came across in fixing the rotten deck. Thanks!

Great tips in using a multitool with depth gauge and the square cutting guide board.

The one thing I was waiting for you to mention was the different sides to the decking timber. Make sure the timber is replaced the correct way to match the existing timber!

That multi-tool works great and I should probably buy one of those. I will be working on some tongue and groove boards in my laundry area and wasn't sure if I could complete this project myself or would have to hire a flooring guy.

Thanks, mate. I'm working on fixing rotting sections on my deck right now.

[lindaholding]

That's is great and simple for me. Thank you!

Guide block is a good tip so you don't have to look for the line of nails and re-orient yourself. Also good idea to screw the block in place instead of going in at 45 degrees. I wasn't comfortable with doing that either. Think I'll be using that. Great tips! Thanks! :-)

I like the way he says deck. I have the humor of a 10-year-old.

I have to replace a deck board that runs underneath the rail post. I have been wondering about this type of patch. A couple of contractors told me that attaching those additional supports to the joist is not structurally sound and unsafe. Can you expound on this please?

Do video on how to repAir or replace a fence made of wire, namely window, not the chainlink wiring. Wire used to just keep in small pets. Thank you.

Bad to add block unless you have to. Better to replace whole piece from the wall to the cut.

The way I thought I could do it myself till I saw this 🥴 I'm going airtasker bcoz ain't no way 😂

[alanlawlor]

From not so suuny and dry England... If you use cross head screws with a Dewalt Impact driver, you can replace the whole piece in 10 mins.  This Dewalt will screw a 4" screw, in, . less than 5 secs.  Great vids, but USE SCREWS

Was watching this with parents in another room

why didn't you just remove the whole board instead of leaving some of the old one behind?
