I repaired (not replaced) a 36 year old deck this spring by just replacing the posts and deck boards and reinforcing the old joists with metal plates. Deck is about 2 feet off the ground. Now remember, the rest the original structure was untouched and again a repair. I will be receiving “suggestions” to bring it up to present code. (steaming)

Yep. I will be so relieved to get rid of my house in town, to get away from those zoning regulators and the corrupt city council etc.

the average American probably commits at least three felonies a day, most without knowing it.

Staying home all day should eliminate two of the three.

Save on all those new codes and permits by “repairing” half of whatever project this year and half next year.
