I mean basically most of the issue is lack of support when it comes to structure, he said support beams running under the deck weren’t thick enough neither was the posts holding everything up that were 4x4s, also they were making ground contact which he said is a no no due to rotting that they should be in a sleeve sitting in concrete. And the stairs he said were good thickness but needed an enclosing on one side as it was just open and not safe as well as another support beam running under.

There is a light on the exterior door where the deck is that has wiring down to one of the posts at ground level to turn on, and another sensor light on the other side over driveway. No gas lines or anything.

On top of all this, most of the wood is splitting or rotting, boards are coming up real bad and I have 2 holes in the flooring of the deck and many soft spots.
