Deck Repair
( Added: Tue Mar 25 2003 Hits: 419)
|
As summer rolls on and you spend some serious time on your deck, you may notice a few creaky spots. Luckily, these trouble areas
are usually an easy fix. For boards that bounce: Create a "sister joist" by nailing a beam of the same size and length into the joist that
runs beneath the bouncy boards. (On a low-lying deck, you may have to remove those boards for access, but otherwise you can do
the repair by crawling underneath the deck.) |

| Gloss or semi-gloss enamels are less likely to be damaged by cleaning than are most flat latex paints. The first test for quality is to drip a little
plain tap water in an inconspicuous area. Cheap paint darkens much more than quality paint. Suffice it to say that the space between pigment
is larger, less vehicle holds it together, and the pigment is not ground as fine in cheaper paint. By the way, virtually every manufacturer makes
cheap paint. The manufacturers name doesn't necessarily mean quality. A $7 gallon of builders flat offers dry hiding, a matt finish, and covers
everything, including even the fact that less coats were used. A $20 gallon of the same manufacturers top line finish has more clear vehicle,
goes further with finer pigments, washes and cleans up easier, and therefore lasts longer. |

height. Some bunk beds also are used separately as twin beds for older children and even adults. |

| Silicone Rubber lasts 12 to 30 years or more and offers the best adhesion for use in seams, cracks and gaps up to 1/4". Adheres very well to
all clean surfaces. Pure silicone does not allow paint to adhere, so impurities are added for adhesion in some formulations. It is available in
many colors and clear. |
