Hello,
I am replacing the decking and railing on my deck. The deck is supported with three 6X6 posts. These posts are notched so the joists can rest on the post. The two end corner posts are notched for the rim joist and also for the header joist (there are 2 headers).
My problem is that I need the joist inside corners for my new rail posts. To make room for the 4X4 rail post, I need to cut off the part of the 6X6 post (to even with the notch) . What is the proper way to attach the joists to the 6X6 post? I can leave the center post as is.
Later I intend to add a new post and beam and remove the current posts.
Thanks for reading.
