Deck Check Ready for the last big weekend of summer? Is your deck ready for friends, family and barbecues? Or does it have loose boards with nails popping up? Do a pre-holiday deck check. This time of year cleaning and re-sealing is prudent -- but don't stop there. You've probably got nails that are slowly working loose, too, but pounding them back in will only yield temporary results. They'll just work their way back out again in short order. For a longer-lasting fix, pull the loose nails, and either hammer in new ones at a different angle, or, for an even better fix, head down to the hardware store for deck screws. That'll solve the problem for good.
