In Olympus Cove
Updated FEMA work maps designate the floodplain along Neff's Creek in Olympus Cove as an active alluvial fan, a fan-shaped area where streams deposit silt, sand, gravel, boulders and woody debris and that is prone to sudden, unpredictable flood events. (Neff's Creek Floodplain Info | Millcreek, UT) Homes along the Wasatch Front foothills in Olympus Cove sit within a classic wildland urban interface zone, where higher wildfire exposure calls for extra precautions such as defensible space, ignition-resistant construction and vegetation management.

Quick answers
Can a few rotted deck boards be replaced without redoing the deck?
Usually. Individual boards are swapped when the joists under them are sound; soft or rotted joists are a larger repair that is scoped separately.
Why does a gate start to sag?
Most gates sag because the hinge post has leaned or the gate frame has racked out of square; the fix is to re-set the post or add a brace, not just to move the latch.
