Look What We Found Under This Failing Deck Coating

So here we are today working on a house in Varian Ranch in Arroyo Grande CA. As we were demo'ing some of the deck where the metal lath system has rusted out, something moved when our prybar was scraping open an area. We found a little lizard guy under the coating, enjoying a damp shaded place out of the sun!

Hmmm, could we have found the cause of decks seemingly falling apart by themselves? Could it be the lizards that are destroying our decks? Great Scott Batman!
