Oddly enough when moisture of any type gets to evaporate on any surface it will leave the particular aforementioned surface in worse shape as before this has happened.Now when it continues to happen over any length of time it will destroy the integrity of its
material matter to the point of repair,easy doing often times but prolonged periods means tear it out and replace.The currant job i'm on is in Laguna Beach,CA a quaint little coastal home with an awesome view of the ocean,lots of moisture in the air nitely,
the walk out redwood deck has a 6x12's post and beam substructure,all fine and great but
the misfortune of being assembled so as where it had been trapping water and drying on top of these timbers,with a 5.5 area on top and no way to find an out x's 20ft so you may get the big picture here [R&R] remove and replace,approx $5000.00 worth of r&r folks,
hey they got to enjoy the view from the deck for several years up to a few weeks ago til
someone heard a creek and decided to have a look,yeah no bueno,thankfully no casualties,
as i blog to inform the masses,while earning a living in this construction vocation i am perplexed to the hills of how common these types of problems exist,the masses just love to throw their hard earned cash away,no?How can you think otherwise?Over and over again,
lets just wait till you masses are ready for the reality of choice,we will get it right
if it takes long enough!! http://www.MY-DIY.net Lets try doing it right the first time

Save water,save us all?
This subject has been a battle for most,a fight to maintain the botanical beauty around our places without over doing it.States
counties and cities are all on alert with this resource,challenging us to conserve our usage or else.To use the broad term"We will charge the over-doers" in the sense that to be wise and from my perspective over watering is breaking down your homes.
My company Craig-r Construction has spent many weeks correcting these issues,not only saving this resource but saving my clients hundreds or dollars annually.We see the damage to fix,but more importantly,can most times adjust the sprinkler heads to the point of effect and aim,where as to get what needs watering wet enough without getting everything else wet that does not,therefor minimizing the damage and maximizing to green.All other areas that get wet weekly are breaking down from the get go and after a short while starting the due process of fix and repair,costing in some cases thousands of dollars.
Long story even longer,another simple approach of conserving both precious commodities,H2o & Greenbacks and in this instance both at the same time folks,imagine that! It's a fact,look while driving by so many homes and see all the water
running off into the street,even maybe check your own places more closely and anything that is not growing by nature if getting even a little moist ie. Stucco,driveways,fences,gates,doors,sheds,even those sturdy built blockwalls are causing one type or another future repair for somebody whom may even get paid to do it.We all have a choice here to participate in this,but in this so called economy who really wants to just throw away our hard earned cash at somethings that can be easily avoided?Im truely just grateful to be of help...................
