Summary

Nutrition label

60% Informative

Dear Abby : My brother-in-law thinks he is good with his hands.

He built a deck on the back of his house that doesn't look safe.

He bragged to me about how he got away with not having to pull any permits.

He also didn't have it inspected when it was finished.

I’m afraid someday someone is going to be sitting on his deck and it’s going to collapse.
