Cut Joist Notches (Dadoes)

What happens here

Begin by marking the desired width and depth of the dadoes on the top edge of the existing deck joists using a pencil. Once marked, use a circular saw to make multiple, closely spaced parallel cuts within the marked area. Ensure the saw's depth is set accurately to avoid cutting too deep. These initial cuts will facilitate easier removal of the wood material.
