DECK FRAMING - Finding A Rotted Ledger and More Fun Stuff!
What happens here
To address the rot, the deteriorated sections of the existing ledger board and associated wall framing are meticulously cut out. A circular saw is used for precise cuts on the wooden elements, while a jackhammer is utilized to break away any surrounding concrete or masonry that might be hindering access or part of the damaged area. The goal is to remove all compromised material and create a clean, square opening for the new, treated lumber.
Goal: The compromised portions of the old ledger board and adjacent wall framing are carefully removed using a circular saw and jackhammer.
