How can I safely address dry rot on a decking?
How can I safely address dry rot on a decking? Is this easy to deal with or is it complex? How can I tell whether the issue can be fixed and when the decking may actually need to be replaced? I just want to put safety first and make sure the deck is actually salvageable.
