What happens here

The existing wood floorboards on the small concrete patio are carefully pried up using a hammer and pry bar. A multi-oscillating tool is used to cut along the perimeter and remove any difficult sections. Once the floorboards are removed, the exposed concrete foundation of the house is primed. The plan is to continue the new deck material over this area, integrating the old patio seamlessly into the new structure.

Goal: The old wood floorboards of the existing concrete patio are removed using a multi-oscillating tool and pry bars, and the exposed foundation is primed for future finishing.

Tools and materials

  • Hammer
  • Multi-Oscillating Tool
