Robert Jones Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Can't say that I have ever seen deck boards butted like this without some kind of support underneath it, or maybe I have and am having a stupid moment.

Robert Jones Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Visually, it caught my eye and I initially thought I might be getting punked with the board flipping up routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert, someday, somebody will get slapped with one of those. Unfortunately, it will not be the goof that built it. [:-weepn] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'd absolutely call it. Cantilevered deck boards. Pun not intended. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles46 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would call it in a heartbeat. Like John said, "someday, somebody will get slapped with one of those" or someone will fall on a rotted one, and when they do, guess whose life they will want to make miserable if you do not report it.

asihi Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I would definitely call that. It's a pretty basic detail that somone messed up. It would make me look real hard at the rest of the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kogel Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Denny, you left your client's name on the pic. Oh, well, you told her the deck was kaka. [] Down your way, that's a termite freeway, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lagueux Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Decks, so easy to build properly and yet, so screwed up most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
