If by bad boards you mean rotten, then yes he should. There is no other answer than YES. __________________ A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Especially In The DIY Chatroom -NEW MEMBERS- Please include your basic location in your profile.

There isn't much need to replace the boards as long as it's just a few. An large area completely rotten, I'm sure they will replace and resheath over.
