In this 75th episode of About the House with Troy Galloway, Troy talks about deck and porch safety. Each May, the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) raises awareness about the importance of checking your deck through a national deck safety campaign, which makes it a perfect time for Troy to share some of the crazy things he’s seen while inspecting decks and porches.
