My deck, which is about 20'x40' and about 4 feet up, floating has floated away from the house. Looking under the deck, some posts are not touching the ground.
So, it is time to do some sketchy stuff.
I have a hi lift jack all.
My plan is to screw in a board to the side of the post, jack it up, pack some gravel under where the concrete post block will sit and then put the block down and the post back on it.
The challenge I have is the board and screws. I have various pieces of 2''x (_) kicking around. I plan to use one on each post and jack on it. The posts are 4''x4''. What size would you go with for the boards to screw in? How many screws would you use?
Yes, I know it is going to be sketchy.I am just wanting to make it a little less sketchy.
