Abstrakt: This article from Fine Homebuilding addresses several questions from readers. The first question pertains to the uplift protection for decks, specifically the best method for connecting deck joists to beams. The expert recommends hurricane ties as they have a higher capacity to resist uplift compared to toenails. However, the expert also notes that both toenails and hurricane ties are sufficient for most decks in areas with typical wind speeds. The second question discusses the use of different brands of housewrap on a house, and the expert states that there is no problem with using different types as long as they are installed according to their respective installation guides. The final question addresses the issue of air bubbles appearing in joint compound when applied over a painted surface. The expert suggests applying a heavy coat of drying-type compound and waiting for it to dry before smoothing it down to eliminate most of the air bubbles. [Extracted from the article]
