    Note - when you cut PT lumber, you need to treat the cut ends as they are now exposed. You can pick up the same chem used in the original treatment from a local hardware store and simply brush it on to treat and seal the cut ends to prevent future rot.

    that particular piece was maybe a little less than 1/8 inch low. visually it was hard to tell, but i wanted it more flush. figured no better weatherproof spacer than a piece of old shingle. thanks for asking.

    Make sure not to install a vapor barrier. The termites, mold, decay and rot might die.

    This is exactly what I was looking for! I’m replacing the bottom of my pond deck and a few joist are rotted. Do I always need to put a 2x4 on both sides? I took off my entire bottom already. Just joist are showing

      As long as there is sufficient good wood for the decking to screw into. I did this repair to 2-3 years ago as a temporary fix, planning to rip it out and put down pavers. Haven't done that yet and it's still holding strong.

    I know code-wise, this can vary by state. We have a piece we want to replace too on a joist. Will these sister joists, generally or typically pass inspection...or would the whole joist need to be replaced? The reason I ask is we just want to replace some decking and repair or replace the bad joist to sell the house in the next year or so and I know a house sell inspection may note one and not the other?

      I don't know. I did this as a temporary measure 8 months ago with the intention of rebuilding this winter. I might wait another year. It's holding strong. Or I might just replace with pavers.

    Would you say that this will only work if the joist isn’t completely broken/rotted? Any suggestions for if the joist is extremely damaged?

    • @outofthetoolboxtinker
      @outofthetoolboxtinker  4 місяці тому +2

      I'd say work best if you have some good wood to screw into. I did it as a "temporary" fix.... 2 years ago and still strong.

    Dude great video love the rocky pump-up music! Question how did the shingle work out? We have same issue that created a seam where water dropped in and rotted it. Thanks again nice moonwalk!

      Thank you rich. Shingle still holding strong. I got the idea from boardwalks at the beach where I live. It looks like they put down strips of peel and stick roofing underlayment, slightly wider than the top of the joist. Looks brilliant. I think it would really protect it. Thanks for watching

    Thanks for sharing - why do you need to space the deck board from the joist with the roofing material?

    • @kastaway2

      Because the material is shitty.

    The deck boards look terrible. Should replace them all. I would be embarrassed to have deck boards look like that. 😅

      Pressure washing every 6 months they look great, but they need to go. Rats get under and nest. Need to replace with pavers.
