DEMO!

Yeah it's fun at first... to demolish anything, much less old wood.







But gets very tiresome, boring, and at times difficult.

Interesting seeing how the old deck was built, for instance, they employed a 'double ledger' sort of thing. They ran the joists PARALLEL to the ledger board, so the bottom ledger board was used to anchor the beams... then the second ledger board pretty much served as the first joist.
