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 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.

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 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Greg trying to sabotage the deck.😂😂

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Soo, basically no structural support at the two front posts?. The whole shabang hanging on the bolts?.

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”

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

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.

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

Unless I missed it you put the lumber right up against the house. You should never do that, you should put spacers behind the boards so they can dry out. The lumber will rot out much faster and could take some of the house structure with it. Thanks for sharing, Charles.

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.

I love your attention to detail.

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

“It’s just temporary” my famous last words

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.

This has been a really fun series to watch. 👍

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

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

OUTSTANDING

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

Every screw/lag bolt he used to attach the deck to this house is a place where moisture can and will get in. Repairing this on two buildings I own right now.

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

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 👍

This is becoming one of my favorite channels!!

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

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

Great job bro

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

Perfect work bro

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.

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.

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

I'm no engineer, but should the beams sit on top of the posts? Also, will you please show and tell us what you are doing to those bottom brackets? It looks like maybe you are trimming them somehow, but I don't understand.

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

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

good work

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

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

Two bolts supporting the whole front end👍

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

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

Deck is brilliantly done. Nice job!

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

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

great stuff as always. thank you

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

Good afternoon from Auckland, New Zealand.

my only concern are the posts, the deck will rest in the bolts and not in the posts

Good job guys Puro TEXAS

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

is that built to code??

I hope you put timber to timber hangers on them joists.

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.

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

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

The deck is only supported by sheer screws at the post. Needs post notched to hold weight of frame!

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?

Does your local code let you joist hanger one end and screw the other end of all your joists instead of using hangers on both ends? Even if so, hangers would have let you have an almost pristine rim joist/beam facing the street. I would have also notched the posts for the rims/beams to carry load to the post directly instead of through screws only. Guessing this is a laid back town when it comes to building code. It could be a lot worse I guess...recently rebuilt a 10' x 40' second floor deck that was originally built just like your deck but using nails only. They had a party the week before and noticed a lot of creaking and movement. I found main load beams pulling away from the posts, no diagonal bracing and no wood to wood load bearing joints. 10 feet in the air and all held up by a few pounds of galvanized nails!

If it wasn’t for Greg’s conduit legs he would be the ultimate man.

Why didn't you use a metal flashing they make that goes up against the building which has a drip cap that fastens to the top of the deck frame and under the deck boards. The house siding would cover the metal drip cap and any water under the deck boards would drain away from the house. just wondering . I know they use a lot of tape nowadays for flashing and under shingles and metal roofing.

Nice level deck, but wont pass code over here with posts only screwed on, code requires posts to be notched and the supporting beams rest in the notch, also any post to beam connections must be bolted.

There isn't any water, moisture barrier. It will damage the sill plate and framing on the interior walls

Good job, you never told us you work with the first avenger haha

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.

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

Nice build.

nice good job

Worth the investment to build a garage

Always interesting

Amazing bro👍👍

Is that custom house wrap?👀

cheap way to install the 4x4 post . you should have notch out for the 2x6 .

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

can't say for sure what code is where your at .. but best practices say you don't leave your soil (underneath the deck) that way .. should be graded from the foundation wall out, geo fabric (to eliminate weeds) and a bed of rocks for stability/sanitation

I am not complaining... but did you check the deck for square? Also, I would have used the laser to layout the deck. There is no such thing as too small of a job. For someone demanding as close to perfection as you do, it's faster to do every job the same way everytime. Looks like a great deck. The video was too short.

Fiberon is a great composite decking.

#mancrush on Greg rockin that sleeveless T

Mikita and Milwaukee nice 👍🏾

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

The way you connected the beams to the post does not meet code where i live anymore. you either need to use a DJT14Z, post cap,column cap, or notch the post.

Honest question here, just looking to learn and not start a debate- I put my first deck on back in August, kind of the same deal where I had to jackhammer off the old concrete steps to fix some issues around the door and siding. Installed a small 8’ x 10’ deck thats about 30” off the ground. Every video I could find stressed that you had to install a beam opposite the ledger, that lag bolting the posts to the outside joists was a “no-no”, as the load would be supported only by the bolts or screws. So I installed a laminated 2 x 12 on top of my posts and then set my joists on top of the beam. I guess my question is has something changed? Is it dependent on the height of the deck off the ground? Have GRK’s changed the game? Again, honestly just trying to learn everything I can, and next summer I plan on redoing the front side of the house and this is kind of a game changer lol. Thanks in advance for responding.

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

Cool man

Somebody give Greg a band-aid! He’s cut! 😂

Can you give some tips and tricks when do the railing I’ve learned a lot about framing and how to do stairs stringers but no on how to do the railing for both! Love the quality of builds and slowing down and taking the extra 5 mins to make it alittle bit better.

Kyle, love you work. But why didn’t you sit the rim joist on top of the posts? To avoid it being in shear?
