    Replacement of entire decking is happening. Depending on what I find below, rafters may be replaced as well. It's a little spongy, so it may only be 2x4 or 2x6 rafters. Will see today after work.

    This also concerns me...

    I don't get why the tie beams are not fastened to the ledger, or why the ledger is cut/notched...

    I can't answer why they did that back in the day, but what I can say is that after today, none of that will be an issue.

    Thanks again to everyone who gave input regarding baseboard clearance over carpet. The install was delayed by a week, I just left the baseboards as is with no gap under them. The installers didnt even mention it and got it all done within a couple hours. We did everything but the carpet in this room. Of course it took much longer than planned but very happy with the results.


    Before tearout of half of closet.

    Looks really nice. Don't tell anyone about the baseboards and they'll never notice.

    I really like using the Makita tools, they just seem to have superior ergonomics over the yellow tools. :crapstorm:
