We have an offer on our house and the inspection was done Monday. One
of the items that came back was the deck ledger board under the bay
window has cracked all the way across. Its below the bolts as you can
see, but it is the entire length of the board. Any suggestions on how
I can fix this??????

Any and all help is appreciated.


It doesn't look bad. Pressure treated wood will have some splitting
and checking. If you want, you can put some plates over the cracks and
screw the 2 halves of the wood to the plate, Actually, from the pics I
see there are some joist supports that are doing that now, spanning
above and below the crack.
Definately not a deal breaker though.
