I’ve got a little boy super excited to build a deck this week while school is out for corona.  

Are these "repairs" things that need to be done to operate the building such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing issues, roof problems and structural issues with stairs, decks and so forth?

new deck, front entry stairs, new landscaping, removed weed overgrowth, exterminated pests, fixed some siding and roof damage, fixed clogged plumbing, replaced fixtures, improved drainage, added structural posts and reinforced basement joists.What was the outcome?

I'm not following many of those discussions on here, but if you have anything to add here that readers could benefit from, I'm sure they would appreciate it.Chris thanks for the shout-out, sorry I'm late getting to this party but as you can imagine I've been all hands on deck all week and only now coming up for air. 

You also will want to budget some money for tuck pointing and/or additional repairs to the roof decking and joists.

They give me some work for longer jobs that would take too long for the other maintenance guys to do, such as painting or deck repairs. 

Fixing the deck posts last fall for example.

If it is in the lease, and let’s say they smoke off the deck, what could the police do?
