I am working on a deck remodel, and have recently removed the extisting deck. I've kept the ledger behind, but am concerned about the remnants left behind by the old joist hangars and nails. Should I:
a) avoid or go ahead and attach the new hangars over where the old one's were... is there a stability issue?
b) if I avoid placing the new hangars over the where the old ones were, do I need to fill in any nail holes left behind... should I be concerned about water entering those holes?
c) replace the ledger altogether (although I don't really want to do that) ?
d) other suggetions I'm not even thinking of?
Thanks!
