#652: Tool Batteries, Moldy Sheathing Behind Brick, and Rebuilding Decks

This week's favorite question comes from Jim who asks on Fine Homebuilding's forum if he can replace rotted pressure-treated decking or does he have to rebuild the whole deck.   The FHB Podcast crew talks about cross-compatibility of power tool batteries. Contractor Evan in Dallas is asking how to replace moldy sheathing behind brick without removing the brick. The crew offers their best suggestions and discuss the importance of managing vapor drive behind brick or other reservoir claddings.    Tune in to Episode 652 of the Fine Homebuilding Podcast to learn more about: Power tool battery pack construction and cross-compatibility  Deck construction and durability of pressure-treated lumber Brick veneer vapor control and moldy framing and sheathing     Have a question or topic you want us to talk about on the show?
