Reinspection of a deck
This is a picture of a reinspection on a deck. All I wanted them to do was to add some joist hangers. Well they did not add the hangers but they did add a few nails!

Re: Reinspection of a deck
They got some nice grouping going on.
That should count for something?

You know, ever since Danny Glover shot the bad guy with a Paslode, every DIY thinks he's a carpenter after spending $400.00

Re: Reinspection of a deck
In some areas a coat hanger is a nail so why shouldn't a joist hanger be a nail.

Re: Reinspection of a deck
I'd be happy to get that much.
Any ideas for getting a builder to install deck flashing over ledger joists?
I've inspected 14 beach houses this year. The number of flashings over the ledgers: 0
It's gotten to where I take a drawing of proper flashing, along with pictures of rotted rim joists, sub-flooring and floor joists along to show my clients why I report them when they're missing. The best correction a builder is able to come up with is a small flashing extending about 1 inch over deck planks, and is absolutely worthless.

The FEMA Homebuilder's Guide to Coastal Construction Fact Sheet #24 is a nice three page printout you can give to builders, preferably before they install the ledger board and siding.
It's not as if there is a great materials cost or that it takes that much longer to do it right. I installed a deck ledger once following these guidelines and it cost approximately $60 more in materials and took about an extra 15 minutes over doing it the substandard way.

Re: Reinspection of a deck
Corn,
That's exactly what I've been handing out/using. By their reaction, however, you would think I was asking the builder to manufacture uranium. As you say, the cost for the addition is minimal and adds years of protection.
