About to wrap up this project, but had to tackle this porch framing first to continue....anyone else go the simplistic route sometimes when framing...like just laying it out and figuring it out as you go? Math never lies, but this was a just a simple one to run with

I can’t say that anything about this was terribly quick or efficient but I got wicked respect for how carefully and properly you went about building this. Very well done

It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into kzfaq.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

I run a Menards store in Indiana and I am always referring people to your page to watch your instructional videos! Very informative stuff you got here. Thank you for sharing.

I love how you go above and beyond to do a project well.

I love this series. I think it's watching you problem solve and work out things in your head that i relate to the most, you're not like a robot expert builder. great work!!

All the different tool sounds and explanations is the perfect musical just like your good work! Keep it coming..

I love your work- it’s clean and precise all the time. I wish I was trained by someone like you.

This is becoming one of my favorite channels!!

Man I need more videos. Keep em coming. I like the flashing ideas. Water is the enemy.

This has been a really fun series to watch. 👍

Your hard work becomes your motivation, so keep it up!

I love the standing around scratching your beard and readjusting you hat bits you included. It's the first step to any project :)

Great job! Thanks for the tips on improving the project.

You sliding that level across that smooth was the best thing I've ever seen

Also we always double our band where I'm from. Gives more for the decking to grab ahold

I love your attention to detail.

I would take this guys recommendation on power tools all day. I used that bandsaw commercially for several years mobile welding, it can take the place of a cutting torch in the field very often.

Kyle - LOVE the first ~20 second of this video. This is me on just about every project...! Hahaha

Hi bud recently stumbled across the channel, enjoying the content keep up the good work from a fellow carpenter in Cornwall, UK.

the best videos. little to no talking to the camera. only talking while working and to each other. this is a good video because of that.

My first deck build wasn’t good but still holding together lol. My 2nd build was better, 3rd awesome. Just keep building everyone 🤘

just when it was getting good to watch the video is over! ..... Only 19 minutes kkkk ta Very good.

+1 for the deck protector. You can also use it on the side where the joist hangers go to protect those nail holes.

Greg with the “bands a make a dance” quote!

OUTSTANDING

great stuff as always. thank you

Perfect work bro

Saw you on the LP add on Facebook. You must be doing something right when they ask a post framer to do an ad for wood siding. Well done

Sounds like this will be a New Products Show House in the future, sponsored of course :-)

Another great video have you used the makita dtd171j 4 speed impact driver

Always interesting

Ima give a like and comment on that solo porch action!

If nothing else, I bet that tape will help reduce squeaking from movement later on. Thanks for sharing!

Jajajajaja men I love your video ,good job .....still waiting for the final result.

Nice build.

Great job bro

How did you get your logo on that house wrap?! Great vid

Amazing bro👍👍

Oh Oh Greg’s Sabotaging the new deck!!!

Love it!

good work

As a fine young gentleman once said, I believe it was in the 30’s “I love it when it when a redhead, beats on another redhead”

What brand is that cordless nailer you used on the porch post brackets

Nice to see someone using proper fasteners , indonalot of remodels and it never amazes me to see either poor fasteners or skipped framing steps. Just did a deck Reno , there was no blocking on 17ft span no lags no through bolts and no hangers. Shame someone cut all those important steps , good job on this deck 👍

Outstanding work! Did you make enough noise to wake Greg up? It looks like a great Saturday.

Really? That's a tease. I'll be right here waiting for the rest of the deck.

Greg trying to sabotage the deck.😂😂

Oh part 6 nice! If I don’t want to wait for part 7, 8, 9 and 10 can I download leaked versions from torrent?

Good job guys Puro TEXAS

excellent friends videos and excellent work I have a query what brand is the gun used to drive the hangers I had not seen it and I like the tool bags you use to work what brand are they ?? 👌✌

Fiberon is a great composite decking.

we did the same to our front porch that I DID 12 years ago ( a woman) in the southwest of New Mexico. Great idea especially where you reside

Have you ever used Maine deck brackets or something similar? Gets the deck away from the house to prevent any rotting in the future.

Awesome deck build! Loved seeing this! We're the post holes dug by hand using a post hole digger? Must be level if you can slide your level all the way across the beams. That black stuff was a good idea.

Greg with the late arrival lol. Thought you might be alone on this one.. always wondered if you had a board bender ( aka bow wrench) for the deck boards makes install super easy.

“It’s just temporary” my famous last words

Muy bonito sus trabajo muy profesional mis respetos saludis desde california y yo tambien trabajo en construcción

We gotta rebuild our rental porch, and this gives me a good idea how to revamp it

Can I ask what the little yellow device was you are using for measurement/calculations? Thank you

Was that the new M12 surge impact?

Ola! Boa tarde! Muito bom trabalho de vocês!

You should do some fpv shots of the work your doing. That would be a cool angle and point of reference.

Hello Kyle, I am curious as to why you didn't pour the deck porch footings above grade so the bottom of the post (I know you are using Simpson stand off brackets but silt will quickly fill them in in a depression like that) is out of the ground plane? Seems another six inches would have been easy to do at the time. Just wondering. Good series. I have enjoyed it and would rate it in the top two or three you have done. Take care. Doug

Deck is brilliantly done. Nice job!

Good afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand.

How well does that fuel powered nailer ( the one you used to nail the hangers in place ) work in the winter?

I like to position my boards with the cup down so water runs off. The end grain should have a “U” shape. It seems like the “U” would catch water but the cupping is opposite of what the end grain looks like.

I like the flashing on top of the deck joists. Had not seen that before but makes sense.

Does your code say the support post has to directly support the structure not by means of the fastener? Via a notch or directly under.

Hi, my company has been getting more into metal siding after coming across your channel. We were curious as to how you go about cutting the angles of a gable end on your metal. Specifically what tool you would use and the best way for marking out the angle.

Next year's Nobel peace price should go to the inventor of the small impact driver.

When are you going to instal the joist hangers ?

Hey Kyle, Deck spacers are a great add between ledger and house to prevent any water rotting out the ledger. Also, what about a metal flashing or Z bar detail on the ledger before you install the decking? After seeing some of your other metal details, I was sure I was about to witness a custom RR metal flashing detail, I could steal for myself. :) ????

Do u pitch the deck at all to have an area for the rain to run? If so what degree? Thanks

Kyle, those 2x12s that are lag bolted to the 4x4s, dont thet need a 2x4 on the bottom of the 2x12 to aid in vertical load support? Alot of decks collapse or fail because too much load is placed on those lag bolts. A 2x4 or a notched post supporting the underside of that 2x12 will nvr fail due to the strength of vertical load on the wood fibers. If that makes sense.

nice good job

Very good job i like , how much cost for labor ??

Funny how different people do things very differently. I never like toe nailing structural load bearing members, like these joists, where they experience shear force, so I would have framed the whole thing on the ground, back nailing all the joists through the rim. Then set a couple temporary pickets at the elevation desired, and a scrap 2x4 cripple on the outside corner, found my post locations, drill/set post bases, attached rim and joist to post, removed pickets.

Thought there was a code requirement for isolating the rim board from the house with a copper flashing between rim board and house wrap when installing copper borate treated wood.

What brand battery nailer were you using?

Mikita and Milwaukee nice 👍🏾

Since cut the posts flush with the deck what is the code for maximum deck height above grade before a safety rail is required?

Kyle, what’s the brand of work wear that you wear in most videos, think it’s the make of the short in this one

very nice as usual guys, its looks LSP! level.. square .. and plumb btw kyle, feel free to use that if you want., its mine but you can use it lol

RR your metal work is exceptional.[now running corner trim like you vary nice sir ty)framing is im sure code ware u are little more load here in oregon....but here Biggest misstake i see.."no notch post to except rim???" That way u get full bearing..looks good though love the vids from a barn builder in oregon. We deal with alot of rain..wish i could show u how we trim our metal buildings out especially the windows/doors.

Cool man

Since you didnt originally plan the deck, did you have to get a permit and did you have to get it amended in the original plans?

A red head beating up on another red head... sounds like a drunk night in Ireland.... 😅😅

I see one reviewer had painted their shed with plastic paint. I'm curious how that has held up. I would like to also paint mine.

they make a plastic deck ledger flashing and we run a row of grace behind it up the wall

What is that black tape you guys are using??

Could you have used brackets to hold your joists also ? Why or why not ?

Landscape fabric and rock under deck and on former sidewalk area??? prohibits future anxiety on weeds for sure growing up through deck and making your beautiful deck look awful lol. I learned from experience and a landscaper when we built our home. So glad we did this one step.

You’re doing a treated deck? God I Long for those days!

I've never done a deck. Do you include any grade to prevent water pooling towards the house? Or slope the ground near the foundation below the deck away from the structure? Or will it have a roof over it?

Awesome deck it's to bad mine was not done that way

Great idea to add that deck/porch but I would have run it out further to the corner of the wall. You can't have enough porch most of the time. This is the reason to have all dimensions plumb and square as you pull away from the structure, the areas that are "off" multiply the farther you go. It's very important to know that rough framing doesn't mean "close enough" defines and goes with "rough" framing. All rough framing requires just as fine a measurement, plumb and square as any finish work does if you want to build from the rough without a ton of compromises. Too many "framers" in the industry don't follow precision traits to benefit the next phase of the build. I have seen many homes built with as much as 1" or so as the "good enough" tolerances and the structures are way off. Likely it's a good time to let the neighbors know their dogs are barking too much so when Greg moves in, maybe they will have obedience in their blood by then. Thanks for sharing.

#mancrush on Greg rockin that sleeveless T

What is the black tape being put on top of the boards and why is it being used?
