Check your deck...now!

I just saw on the news that there was a deck collapse in Beaverton. It was some sort of family gathering and they decided to take a group picture and the deck full of family collapsed with people falling about 10-15 feet. Ten people taken to the hospital by ambulance. The worst injury looks like grandma. Guess what happened to her? Yes, a broken hip.

I ran right out to check OUR deck. It's a bit "iffy" but the fall would be about 4 inches.

The message is go check out your deck. We don't want grandma breaking a hip!
