NZ3604 and E2/AS1 discuss why we must keep a minimum 12mm gap between decking and cladding. I don't think the handyman that built this deck ever read these documents. This is a good example of why using a registered and Licensed Building Practioner like Carmen Tradie is an important consideration.

Thank you to all the ladies that attended our Blenheim ITM intro to power tools on 4 August. It was awesome, lots of learning for all of us! The Makita team even pulled out some of their tools for us to try. Our trigger fingers were very satisfied!
