Is flipping over deck boards a thing?
I’m working on refreshing a solid deck so I demoed four rotted 2x6s, bought and stained/sealed these new ones. My problem is that the remaining twelve boards now look bad. The wood is sound, the beams and joists are 100%. The issue is peeling and splitting and uneven top surfaces that are too far gone to reasonably sand and stain. Since I would have to take out the nails anyway, I’m looking at popping the boards, removing nails, then sanding and staining the undersides (new tops). I like the convenience of not hauling dump loads and reusing the wood. It is all in 12’ lengths. So, am I crazy or should I give it a try? submitted by /u/grapemike [link] [comments]
