When I repaired Aunt Mel's deck, I did not replace the stairs. One tread in particular looked bad even then. I guess it is time to replace that one.
Eventually we will replace the whole stair, but in the mean time this should fix things up a bit.

Aunt Mel's Deck (part II)
Destruction time.
I ripped off the rail. (mostly by hand with out tools)
Then I started pulling deck boards. Initially I thought I could just replace a few bad deck boards. But the demo process showed that every board was rotted: some came apart in my hands. No wonder the deck felt soft and creaky.
After all the deck boards were off it was obvious that I had been overly optimistic about the condition of the framing members.
