What happens here

This project demonstrates reinforcing a deck's post-to-beam connection. It involves attaching a 2x6 "scab" to the post and beam to ensure structural integrity and prevent skewing, and highlights the importance of a beveled top edge on the scab to facilitate rainwater runoff, thus protecting the wood from moisture damage.
