Im trying to help my best friend fix stuff around her house. Video games are
what her 'man' around here is good at so she calls her bestie lol. First is
this porch, idky theres a gap but its causing everything to be bowed. I just
need to move it down to even it off but the nails are too deep set. Need to
save the wood to reuse it but it wasnt weather treated so its falling apart.
Whats a trick to get these nails out without damaging the wood? I dont have a
drill, only a mini hammer and mini crowbar.. Ok guys ty for any help.

Dizzy,
The photo sort of made me dizzy. Maybe you need a "cat's paw" to pry
the nails out. If the wood is really "falling apart", a little claw
mark may not look bad.
If it's falling apart bad, why does he need to save the wood to begin with?
I agree about the pic, not clear what part he's talking about. If he
lacks even basic tools, probably shouldn't be doing the job at all.
Hey ! those nails look a lot like screws to me ..
It's why they are so sunken-in ... duh.

Should have looked at your comment before attaching to Oren's. Now we
have a consensus, they are screws.
