After delivering to them my first born child, the lumber company dropped off
the PT framing and decking that I need to finish the deck I started in August.
It is very wet and mostly frozen.
Assuming it thaws while stored in the unheated garage, can I screw through the
2x4s I'm using to diagonally brace the posts and joists? As I understand it,
there's not much dimentional change along the grain as it dries, so i shouldn't
need to worry about the bracing pulling the post-joist assembly out of
plumb/square.
thanks,
jim
