Hi all,
Advice needed on how to fix some water damaged wood on wood posts in the outdoor deck roof. As it rained last night, I found the cultript. Water is leaking through the roof on the spot right above the damaged post. I got up there and checked the post. The damage doesn't seem to be too deep. In fact the post seems solid when poked beyond the first 2 cms of damage. So similar damage on the other side of the post. Damage only on the outter section on one side of the post. I'm a bit of a novice at this sort of repair work. Any tips on how I can approach treating the damage once I've patched the hole in the roof itself. I assume I'll need to remove the damaged wood (which only seems to be a couple of cms deep) and apply some sort of a wood sealant. Many thanks.
