Part 2/10:
The video begins with a brief tour of the porch, dog apartment, and upper deck, where the narrator reveals that the relentless summer heat has left its mark. Despite some relief in temperature, the heat’s effects persisted, causing structural issues in the deck. Climbing up a ladder, the homeowner inspects the decking boards, visibly distressed by the damage. Notably, one board has bowed significantly downward, creating an uneven surface that can't be ignored.
The homeowner evaluates the condition of the boards, noticing that while most remained level and in good shape, a few had warped or dried out, especially those covered in tarps for months. This inspection underscores the importance of early maintenance and the ongoing battle against weather-related deterioration.
