Since there is no beams and it looks like the only thing holding it up is a few deck screws, I'm surprised it stayed up long enough to rot like that

[@heroknaderi]

Wow nice find. That is definitely a disaster waiting to happen.

[@Kudeghraw]

And I thought I had a bad one. When I was looking over this house I am in, the biggest turd in the punchbowl was this backyard deck that didn't seem to make sense. Took a look under it and it ended up making a whole lot of sense. Previous owner abandoned a central air install, a shoe, a few doritos bags, a my little pony fishing pole, a basketball, abandoned irrigation system tubing and random glass that came up in some spots as if they buried a pane of glass. Has eight 6" x 4" x 48" posts that are buried a foot deep into a bed of concrete. I almost have all of this cleaned up. Got the two posts closest to house dug up and concrete busted with an SDS hammer. Only 6 more to go. Filled in the post holes with dirt and tamped it down ensuring it grades away from the house. Looks like a million bucks already. Can't wait to get it all clear and put a concrete slab in its place.

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

Wow, that sounds like quite an adventure! 🏡 It’s amazing how much you’ve uncovered and tackled. Your dedication to cleaning up and improving your space is truly inspiring. Keep up the great work-sounds like your backyard is going to look fantastic once you get that concrete slab in place. 👏🌟 Thanks for sharing your story with us!

@@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA Its already bordering on gorgeous with the Kentucky 31 seed I planted. Bright lime green grass is something to marvel at for sure. I will never go back to dark green grass.

[@rossvdh5820]

Looks good 👍

The DCA-6 says the rim beam needs to be supported by the post. I still see decks being constructed with only carriage bolts holding up the rim beam. Why is that?

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

Great question! The DCA-6 guidelines specify that the rim beam needs to be supported by the post for a reason: it ensures the deck’s structural integrity and safety. Relying solely on carriage bolts can be risky as they might not provide adequate support over time, especially under heavy loads or harsh weather conditions. Unfortunately, some builders may not be fully updated on the latest codes or might take shortcuts.

[@cjamesfox]

It has to be the joists aren't pressure treated but just regular lumber... How can it rot like that

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

Yeah, I think you're right since other members like the posts, beams, and floorings are not rotted like the joists. Not even close

[@stevenlake5278]

It's an old deck they tore off the old boards and went over all the old deck Floor joists

[@softshoes]

Give somebody a hammer and they think they are a carpenter. Store bought stringers for the stairs, they are no where near level.

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

Yeah, you're right. There's more to it being a carpenter. Becoming a skilled carpenter requires mastering technical skills such as woodworking and blueprint reading, alongside knowledge of materials and problem-solving abilities. Attention to detail, safety consciousness, and effective communication are essential, as are physical stamina and coordination.

3/4" sag? My screened in porch is sagging 3" in the corner.

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

The sagging could be due to problems with the foundation or footings of the porch. If the footings were not properly installed or if the ground underneath has shifted or eroded, it can lead to uneven settling and cause the porch to sag.

[@raul0ca]

I have moldy fence posts in better shape

[@HomeInspectorAtlantaGA]

While mold may not directly damage the wood of the fence post in the same way that rot or decay does, it can still weaken the structural integrity over time. Mold can penetrate the surface of the wood and lead to deterioration if left untreated, potentially compromising the stability of the fence.
