plank replacement
-
Ahoy,and welcome aboard.The planks come off the same as they went on.Put a sander to them,find the screw plugs,and remove them.Reinstall the same.When they're off,inspect the ribs,to be sure they are solid.If not,you can sister on a oak rib next to it.I recommend using a mask,as the mahogany dust is toxic. If it's just a few soft spots on painted wood,you can clean out the rot,get it nice and dry,then epoxy the spot,throw some bondo in it,and repaint it.Congrats on the new girl
