Aided by two Yard Dogs from Kyle’s company, we were able to deconstruct our deck in about 3 hours. Planks had to be cut into 7-foot sections to fit within our Dumpster in a Bag (a very interesting DIY debris removal service) which also made them easy to carry. In addition to the planks, I removed a small area of siding and the stair risers which all showed signs of water damage. I will spread the reconstruction task out over several weeks to ease the burden. We are still trying to decide between the latest synthetic materials and wood.
