If you want to continue without investing in a new tool. Cut the decking between the joists in manageable lengths. Use a crowbar to lift the decking and cut the nails with a SawZall with a long metal cutting blade. You can also drive the boards up with a 5 pound babbit hammer or 10 pound sludge hammer from the underside.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps and thanks</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Jul 2006 07:47:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>AndersonProCarpentry</dc:creator></item><item><title>removing existing deck...need help</title><link>http://www.decks.com/Topic1836-21-1.aspx</link><description>I am replacing the existing floor boards on my deck, but need to first remove the old ones.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What is the easiest way to go about this?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am trying to pry the 10 foot boards off one at a time with a pry-bar, but this is really not working.  Trying to get the bar underneath the nailed part of the board is damaging the joices underneath, which I am not replacing if I don't have to.  It has taken me forever to remove just 2 boards!  There has to be an easier way.  Will ripping the boards with a circular saw or sawzaw help?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any suggestions would be appreciated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;THANKS!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 06 Jul 2006 20:41:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Nick</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
