Flash your decks馃槕[image deleted]. Extensive rot and carpenter ant infestation.......:馃槖

Ok, I flashed it. All the ants AND the neighbors ran away...馃槀
Yeah that's bad news. Do you have a metal frame underneath?

@Quoththeraven it's a mobile home set on a full foundation.
Is have to see but I think that band joist would be easy to replace.

... so you want deck pics, eh? 馃槒
Metal flashing keeps the water out. No water. No rot. No rot no ants馃槧 This just made the price of the job go up a few grand. Now we need to beam the joists and Jack the house up. Then I we can replace the rotten wood. When it comes to carpenters cheaper is seldom better....
Damn!! So sorry man. What's the damage?
@Notmesam new rim joint and plates.

I was thinking of decking boards on a floor deck...I used linseed oil mixed half with paint thinner and painted a long deck with that before staining it...
@cherokeepatti boiled linseed oil with turpentine and white vinegar is what you want.
