Photo 1 Photo 8 <br /> 9) Repair/Replace - Some of the support posts for the deck do not have a proper post to beam support <br /> installed. I recommend installing pressure treated 2x4's to tie the post and beam together. When using <br /> pressure treated material all the nails need to be galvanized, or if screws are used, they need to be <br /> stainless steel. <br /> P711- <br /> Photo 6 Photo 7 <br /> 10) Repair/Maintain, Monitor - The rim joist for the deck is not pressure treated and is susceptible to <br /> future rot. This rim joist can be replaced or treated with a preservative and then monitored. <br /> Photo 5 <br /> 11) Repair/Maintain - Soil is in contact with or less than six inches from siding and/or trim in some <br /> areas of the home. This is a conducive condition for wood destroying insects and organisms. Soil should <br /> be graded and/or removed as necessary so there are at least six inches of space between the siding/trim <br /> and the soil below. If removing the soil is not possible, then remove the bottom section of siding and <br /> install cement board so there is no wood to earth contact. This work should be done by a qualified person. <br /> 7 <br />
