Yes, the DECK has screws but there is only one fastener in the rail that looks like it MIGHT be a screw and that is where the baluster is loose at the bottom. 2. Don't worry about trying to jack up the deck, that isn;t the problem. 3. Don't worry about taking out fasteners, you don't need to. Your problem appears to be because the top rail has bowed. You could knock it off and replace but you'd wind up pretty much rebuilding the whole thing because knocking off the top rail is likely going to disrupt the balusters at the bottom as well as the top. The alternative to replacement is fixing and to do that you need to bend the top rail back down. A pipe clamp between the rail top and underside of the deck would work. Once repositioned, keep it there by screwing a short piece of 2x4 to the post so that the end is against the repositioned rail. |

Lots of things, most common frost heave or clay soil water movement. Alternatively, it could be the rest has sagged and this one is the one with the solid-enough foundation to have remained roughly in original position. Or, it could be relative movement of both directions with that the resultant at just the one position. As someone else said, only seeing the whole thing in context will have any chance of a realistic answer as to what has actually happened. -- |

Dizzy, I have to agree with hrhofmann and/or hubops. Either the screws rotted out and the deck's structure let go...VERY BAD! Or, that the 4x4 in the center of the picture heaved up from freezing. If the structure's no longer attached, you need to pull the floorboard out and jack the structure back up to then properly re-attach. This will fix the baluster connections and remove the rails' sag in the middle and, of course, remove all floor gaps. If just the 4x4 has heaved, evidence being the 2x4's attached to only it and nothing else. Then, you'd remove and re-attached the 4x4's 2x4's flush down to the floor again...hoping the heaving is done. You'd basically just be dropping the rails back down so they're in contact with everything again. To be of any help to your bestie, address the causes and not just the symptoms. Then, you should convince her to lose the trailer-trash-look and Solid Stain everything...it's very much like paint, but it doesn't peel or need scraping and only re-application of more Solid Stain in 15-years. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...e-1145379-.htm |

In other words. No, there's no trick to removing the screws/nails beyond the digging them out with a Cat's Paw Tool or cutting them with a Reciprocating Saw. If they're all screws, as they appear to be, then you won't be able to get them out (nor the new ones in) with a hand screwdriver and will need a power-drill or impact-drill to make quick and easy work of them...do not re-use the old ones. 1 tip to not have to replace the wood, is to do your damage and then simply flip the board over to the undamaged side before re-attaching. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...e-1145379-.htm |
