I came to a stop sign and a skanky tweaker chick in a tube top climbed out of the brush and propositioned me.  She looked like she didn't have any teeth so I counted that as a plus.

A wrecking bar will pull the decking off the screws. You don't need to cut around it. After that you have several options for getting rid of the screws. It is much easier to do without the wood around them. A good whack with a framing hammer usually just snaps them off.

These are the ones I use. Not cheap but you can zip thru a screw in a few seconds. Use the whole blade so you don't wear out just a few teeth and the blade lasts longer.

I picked up a couple blades for the Fein today it was near $100.  I have to be more careful with them going forward. I was a bit surprised they are about 4 times what I got them for last time.
