Implement Water Runoff Bevel

What happens here

Once the 2x6 scab is securely attached, verify that its top edge has a pre-cut or intentionally created bevel. This angled surface is crucial for directing rainwater away from the joint between the beam and the scab/post. By preventing water from pooling on the flat surface, the bevel helps to protect the wood from moisture penetration, rot, and premature degradation, thus prolonging the lifespan of the deck structure.

Goal: Protect the wood connection from water damage
