Integrate Old Deck with New Framing

What happens here

Address any existing deck boards that are bowed or uneven before installing new decking. The video demonstrates face-screwing a 2x4 onto the existing bowed deck structure and notching it to accept a new deck joist. This helps to straighten and integrate the old section with the new, ensuring a flush and level transition. A hammer and chisel are used to refine the notches for a perfect fit.

Goal: Ensure a flush and stable transition between old and new deck sections
