The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles employees to take time off from work for a total of up to 12-weeks due to family or medical emergencies, but only for specified reasons. Not every reason qualifies for FMLA protection while on time off.
Cleats work effectivelyâA cleat is. simply a flat, straight piece of relatively. narrow wood that is attached, typically. with screws, to the underside of an oth-. erwise unsupported tabletop. It is found. most often on drop leaves, extension-table. leaves, and pedestal tables.
A better solution when 2x10 and larger lumber is used to frame the deck, is to lag bolt one or two 2x4's to the underside of the deck. These 2x4 cleats should be as 6 longer than the stairs are wide and set flush with the outside face of the rim joist. In effect, the cleats serve to make the rim joist wider.
