If required & I get it, your on my list
From what I have seen (I will find out more next week) they use the Heat Treated Wood (Wolmanized?) that doesn't require it

I kind of figured as much but figured I would throw it out there anyways.

Excellent! Maybe we can all hoist one out there. I'm free Thursday night and made reservations at St. Elmos on spec.

More??? You really have to love the second one - deck is 11' in the air - sunk into a 3.5" slab by about an inch

Finished - you have to love it when the inspector gets out of the vehicle with a stack of red tags & then complains that your no fun because she couldn't use a single one of them.

Looks good, I hope you flashed the new deck, better then the old one.

It is unfortunately, no longer a surprise to find that kind of damage behind unflashed ledger boards. We will finally start working on a deck that we have spent the last 2 weeks repairing damage from the first one. Think 8x10 beam, holding up part of the 2nd story, rotten for 3' from one bearing end.

Thanks - does this count as flashed properly? Sorry to hear about yours
