The replacement of the wood nailers was discussed at several of the
recent board meetings as well as in e-mail form on the message board.
It was explained that the wood nailers were not in bad shape, and would
therefore remain in place. If I remember right, this eliminated a
considerable amount of cost from the project; I heard no complaints when
this was brought up. To come back now after the project is nearly
complete and question why the nailers were not replaced is really quite
ludicrous.
As Brian indicated, the likely culprit is a screw hitting an existing
hole. Of the 100 or so screw fasteners in my balcony, 1 screw fastener
is popping. This happens in construction, and it will be fixed. As an
architect, Brian deals with this kind of thing on a daily basis. I'm
sure neither he, nor the rest of the board will approve a final payment
to the contractor until all known punchlist items have been addressed.

I have one board loose. The screws are long enough. I fear the wood
underneath is bad. Is there a reason that wasn't replaced?
