Warmer weather turns our attention to the great outdoors or, for the children, the great backyard. And sooner or later, they might request a little something extra: a tree house. Tree houses and other play structures are a joy for children - a place to explore, to imagine, to keep younger brothers and sisters out. Unfortunately, they also can be a source of anxiety for parents.

Although our column usually tackles a specific project or subject, this week we're sharing some useful tips with you. DECK SAFETY CHECK Recent deck collapses you might have read about underscore the need for proper construction and periodic deck safety checks. Despite good plans, building permits, inspections and building codes, as decks age they can become unsafe. Boards rot, insects destroy wood integrity, and fasteners and railings consequently loosen. The result: a weakened structure. The bigger and higher (and older) the deck, porch or balcony, the greater is the need for doing things right and for frequent checkups.
The effect of high-rise fires on building code changes is illustrated through three cases studies: one in Philadelphia and two more recent in Chicago. An in-depth statistical analysis in the case of the two Chicago office building fires indicates that both fires register a statistically significant impact on vacancy levels of the non-sprinkled buildings as a result of the retrofitting process and tenant hesitation to lease non-sprinkled space. This effect is more evident in Class B buildings, which have commenced their retrofitting efforts, compared to Class C buildings, where the retrofitting process stalled because of the overwhelming cost in comparison to the more marginal property returns.

We moved into our 15-year-old house last winter and we really haven't gotten a lot of use of the rear deck. I'm wondering if all this rain has had any affect on it. Is there a way I can tell if my deck is safe? I was told in one of your past articles that you had a home-made recipe for deck cleaning. I understand that a power washer is not the way to go since it can damage the wood. Could you please give me the recipe for the cleaner? Also, do you have any suggestions to clean light colored carpeting that is along the wall that has gotten black? A great many of the decks that hang off the backs of houses in this country were added after the house was built and after the local building inspector had been and gone for the last time. Either the homeowners decided to build the decks themsel...

This proposed rule would amend HUD's regulations governing the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program (Section 202) and the Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program (Section 811), by streamlining the requirements for mixed- finance Section 202 and Section 811 developments. This rule would streamline the requirements for mixed-finance developments by removing restrictions on the portions of developments not funded through capital advances, thereby lifting barriers on participation in the development of the projects, and eliminating burdensome funding requirements. These proposed amendments would attract private capital and the expertise of the private developer community to create attractive and affordable supportive housing developments for th...

My fall project is to demolish and rebuild my wood deck. The old deck was more than 20 years old and an inspector friend told me he thought it was not safe. He told me there were instances where decks have collapsed and people were injured. Can you give me some suggestions on what I need to do to make the deck strong and safe? My method of building a deck would be to first make sure the support posts are set in concrete with concrete footings for maximum support.
