Denray Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 So as I walked up to this house I noticed no vents around the exterior of this front decking. And the deck boards were packed tightly together. Click to Enlarge 94.58 KB The exterior wall had vents, but this deck addition was enclosing the space in front of them.

John Kogel Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 That white fungus is going to destroy the ledger board, even after they cut some vent holes. At least it's a short drop to the ground from there. I had something like that last fall, but the OSB sheathing on the walls came down below the deck. I got my camera in there and it was not a pretty sight. Believe it or not, swarming termites had found it too and crawled down between the deck planks and the siding. I showed my client the little piles of wings along the wall. I don't expect I'll see that realtor again. Too much detail. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
