[Shop-talk] What's the hot ticket for a new deck?

Are "deck" screws still OK?  

I'm also in the middle of partially rebuilding mine but already decided to
go with wood again.  The old one lasted over 40 years with likely no
maintenance at all (certainly none in the past 20 years), which seemed good
enough to me.  (Obviously, I live in a gentle climate.)

And what the building inspector doesn't know won't hurt me <G>
