Hi all,
I bought a fixer upper in the Santa Cruz mountains and am asking for your advice regarding the following situation:
The previous owner built an extension to the existing house but instead of doing it properly, she just first extended her outside deck (2x6 cedar boards on piers and posts) and built the wall frames directly on the deck. She didn't put down any flooring but just left the deck as is. There's also no insulation or any kind of moisture barrier under the deck.
I want to turn the room into a work space so I'd like to know how to put insulation and flooring on the decking without it rotting in a few years. The crawl space is so small that I can't get under the deck.
Thanks for your help.
