Guam Deck

Yup. That's what I'm going to start calling these uncle "meant well" built decks.

No nails in the hangers, no bolts, no flashing, no nuthin!

When I shook the outside corner post, the whole thing started to sway in a circular motion, and the buyer ran back in to the house.

Scared the hell out of me too, and I expected it!

If I would have continued, I have no doubt it would have gone to the ground.

Was the buyer on the deck or under it while you were shaking it?[:-eyebrow

We were on top. It's not that funny, guys.

I think the poor woman may have soiled herself.

Looks like 90+% of the decks built in my area. I just love it when I write it up, and the Realtor says "look at all the other decks on this street, they are all built the same way and of course they do not meet the building standards of today, they weren't built today"....
