Exactly. I have been replacing them with screws as I have time. Flipping the decking boards over as the nails damage them. The upstairs deck railing that is now four years old and is not safe IMO and I am going to have to put bolts where the uprights attach to the sides.

I am coming to the conclusion that it is the way they do things around here. Half assed and close is good enough.
I don't recall you telling me I was risking my life by going out on that deck.
