I've got a couple of guys building a deck for me at a house I'm either
going
to sell or rent (an investment property). The deck height is only a couple
of feet off the ground. They're not bolting the ledger board to the house
(cinder block) and instead are using only concrete nails. Also, they're
not
going to put footers in until after they've finished the deck. Everything
is
on temporary supports and then they'll come back and dig footers and pour
some concrete. Does this sound right? Thanks.
Why in the world would they do the footers *after* the deck is built? They
have to dig down and pour the cement and it would be a heck of a lot easier
to do this *without* a deck over them. Weird, IMO.
