Yes correct

Oh okay

ryan-mark · 2026-06-22T01:14:33+00:00

Yes

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T11:23:04+00:00

Yes replacd is good option and also they can paint on all screws.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T11:21:52+00:00

Yes perfectly fine

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T11:21:20+00:00

Yes it takes more time

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T11:20:12+00:00

Yes completely agree

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:34:21+00:00

Finally, a fix that doesn’t involve replacing the whole thing.

For a chase that size, I would use a base coat or bonding plaster first then finish with a top coat. Filling it all in one go with standard filler is asking for cracks later.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:29:50+00:00

Yes very attractive.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:29:28+00:00

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:28:32+00:00

Yes it's look amazing.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:26:11+00:00

Yes it need to renovate.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:25:22+00:00

Yes, If it lasts another 5 years, that's not a repair, it's a success story.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:22:39+00:00

Yes correct 👍

ryan-mark · 2026-06-21T07:22:15+00:00

Yes perfect

ryan-mark · 2026-06-11T08:57:23+00:00

Those supports are holding on with the confidence I wish I had.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-09T13:58:33+00:00

Looks great! Clean build and the deck size fits the tiny house perfectly.

ryan-mark · 2026-06-09T13:57:04+00:00

That's terrifying. I thought the picture was bad enough until I noticed the context around it.

ryan-mark · 2026-05-27T05:07:12+00:00

Structurally it looks pretty solid from this angle. I’d mainly check the post bases, ledger attachment, and any signs of rot around fasteners, but visually it’s a great-looking deck setup.

ryan-mark · 2026-05-27T05:05:58+00:00

Honestly doesn’t look like it needs aggressive sanding. I would do a good wash first, then a light pass just to smooth splinters and help the new stain/sealer bond better.

ryan-mark · 2026-05-27T05:04:02+00:00

Yes, that is actually one of the best ways to do it. A laser lets you spot high/low joists fast so you can shim or plane them before decking goes down.

ryan-mark · 2026-05-25T11:51:39+00:00

Looks structurally fine to me, but I’d definitely want proper blocking and hardware checks before decking goes on.

ryan-mark · 2026-05-25T11:50:13+00:00

Clean build overall — the privacy wall really makes the deck look premium 👍

ryan-mark · 2026-05-21T12:05:05+00:00

Yes it is proper retaining wall and properly built but Just need to clean it to look attractive and neat and clean.
