The father-in-law wants to redo his deck. The original builder did not attach the deck to the house for fear that warping or "ground sinkage" would just pull it away. The house was built over 30 years ago so I don't think the earth is going to move much more than it has already but I could be wrong. I've seen plenty of deck attached. Some say do it, others say no way. What is the general concensus here? Any tips on how it should be done?
