The faucet below my deck is leaking badly. But the cutout that exposed the faucet is too small to get my hand in and turn; to install the U-adapter and hose, I had to hire a less claustrophobic handyman to crawl under the deck and screw them in from below.
I want to trim away some of the surrounding wood to give my hand and wrench some wiggle room. My wife fears that the deck could collapse.
Can I safely trim off, say. a half-inch of wood on all three sides shown here?
