On the DVD which this video excerpt is taken from, professional carpenter Scott Schuttner builds two decks–one a simple, single-level deck that demonstrates the basic principles of deck construction; the other a custom wraparound deck complete with stairs, planters and built-in seating. At each step of the deck-building process, you see firsthand how Schuttner uses his proven, professional techniques to get high-quality results.

Will that area that just became exposed be protected with any kind of flashing?
thanks!
