The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I have used previously installed decking by flipping them. However my personal experience in removing them has been that only 25% were harvested in good enough shape to use again. It is a fool's errand in my opinion, and I played the fool on my own deck with 1x4 mahogany I took from a deck we replaced. I went with composite Trex a number of years ago and been enjoying it ever since.

Well, he's looking to fix it with glue or adhesive. That is an even bigger fool's errand |

My money is on Jeff covering the offending area with a green outdoor carpet....  And that is a solution. |

Hence my question. I wasn’t thinking Elmer’s freaking glue, more like marine epoxy. |
