planks were put too close to one another. as a result, the deck does not have great drainage and has a tendency to pool up in certain areas. any thoughts on what i should do, maybe drill small holes in the deck to allow it to drain??

well, maybe not be the right thing to do, but my neighbour took a skill saw and set the depth to the the boards and cut between each board. It looked good in most places, but he let the saw get away from him in a few spots and it didnt look so great.
