Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate the kind words. Thanks also for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the job

Haha...Thanks for watching

Thanks for the tip 👍

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the job

@@horstcarpentry wish I could do that. I have a 20 x 20 deck and I'd love to enclose it.

I agree with your opinion, but, my jobs are dictated by my customers. The customer changed his mind and wanted the T1-11 covered with siding, so, in the end it wouldn't have made much of a difference. Very few customers will pay for stainless fasters, which, is what settles this kind of discussion. Thanks

You're welcome

You're welcome. I try to allow you to hear me when I speak. Thanks for watching

Thank you very much. I'm truly humbled by that comment and appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the tip. You can also use a backwards blade on a circular saw or chop box. If your doing a lot of siding that will save time with all the cutting. Thanks for the comment

Thanks and glad you enjoyed watching

Gracias

Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed watching

Thank you. That means a lot.

Oh I know all about palm nailers... I almost enjoy hand nailing and not hearing the compressor run every five seconds. Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed the job

Thank you

Yep the roofer will just cut the shingles around all the framing. You could remove the shingles and install the ledge or ledges as I did here, but, it's not necessary and takes longer. Ask a roofer how many valley's he has had to cut because they framed it the same way that I did here. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the comment

I'm not surprised to hear that price. The pricing is really dependant on the level of finish. I'll be doing another screened porch this spring. You may like this one more.

@@horstcarpentry You made it look so easy to build! I love it, thanks.

No you're absolutely right I usually don't cover the last 1/2" of the rake. The j-channel is 1" depth and covers, so, it hides the gap. You could use the 3/4" trim, but, if you are finishing with siding the j-channel will hang proud of the face of the metal. If the 1x is on top of the finish product ( T1-11 maybe ) then sounds like a good plan. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope everything works out for you.

Yes it is...love those 12v Milwaukee tools. Small and convenient. Thank you and thanks for watching

I have several myself. Been undecided whether to go with the m18 or the m12. I already own the Gen 2 7 1/4 in but want something lighter for smaller jobs. Looks like M12 it is! Thx for the prompt response.

In the old days....like 6 years ago nails and screws were interchangeable. I have included a link to a construction guide from 2014. This is no excuse because what you're saying is true. My only point would be that building code is starting to evolve beyond minimum standards and is turning into a CYA for the jurisdiction...IMO. Nobody wants to have deck failures so they are going above and beyond with there deck guides now. For example, is there really anything wrong with field cut stair stringers? Well, the newest deck guides say you can only do this for horizontal lengths of roughly 7ft. Someone commented how I installed the ledger onto the brick veneer and how you can't do that by code now. But we all know just a couple years ago this was perfectly acceptable and is fine when installed correctly. This has nothing to do with nails in a beam providing more shear strength, I agree with you, but, in indicative of building departments writing codes now to achieve a "perfect" build...again IMO. "Old" deck guide from 2014: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.cascadetwp.com/Services-Departments/Building-Inspections/How-To-Resources/Wood-Deck-Construction-Guide.aspx&ved=2ahUKEwi2kIaz5aHpAhUDgnIEHVn7DxUQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3_KQT915LMK4DAISmjySo0 "New" deck guide from a nearby county, where it takes a week to get a deck permit mind you. Note that it still shows screws as acceptable for beam work. Also note stringer detail section and window glazing specs: www.howardcountymd.gov/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=UX6n2vQ3T8I%3d&portalid=0 Thanks for watching and commenting I love the discussion

@@horstcarpentry no worries, i could just hear my statics and dynamics professor in the back of my mind. FWIW i learned the hard way to always sister beams on the most level true surface you can find. Never going to power plane in the air again god help me. I get the ledger change to the code. Seen many decks pulling away. Bricks aren't attached in a manner to support the force in that direction either. Simpson makes those new strong tie connectors, you only need two per 12 linear ft iirc. Okay the stringers seems over board. I bet someone did something stupid, someone sued. Since tort precedent basically makes the laws these days... sadly here we are :(

Totally agree with all you just said especially the lawyer part ugh. They define law anymore...sadly. Thanks again for watching

Forgot I have used those brackets your referring to on most recent decks. Prevents having to install diagonal bracing. Very nice and easy to use.

Neither one is better than the other. A shed style is easier to frame for sure. All depends on what you're looking for.

Thank you very much for the compliment. Agree nailing is much faster

Thank you very much. Ask for references and maybe some previous jobs to see their quality.

Hi, I'm a carpenter in the Houston area, we can give you an estimate for your new porch, give me a call +1 (936) 689-5387 I'm David Flores. @Lyna Y Le

Lyna Y Le .

Juan Diaz thanks for your referral

We had discussed some details beforehand, but, the customer made some changes as he saw the progress. Thanks for watching

He's cool just some miscommunication that's all

Just aluminum fascia trim. This stuff was at Home Depot. Much easier than using a brake and making it yourself from a roll. www.homedepot.com/p/6-in-x-12-ft-White-Aluminum-Fascia-Trim-77103/204103285

I'm just glad you consider me a professional haha. Thanks for watching

Yes I screwed down the posts to the deck surface. In my opinion, the most important aspect of the build is to stack all of your loads. I used a rim beam and then stacked the posts that supports the roof on top of it...on top of the decking of course. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for watching

@@horstcarpentry I'm sure I will. I just keep thinking the wind will rip it right out. Thanks for building my confidence! Love your videos!

You could always use timberlok screws and toe into the beam below. I would pre-drill your holes first.

Thanks

I use a Rigid framing gun and Porter Cable trim nail guns ( 15 Guage & 18 Guage ). I have a Porter Cable compressor for framing and a DeWalt ultra quiet compressor for trim work. On my more recent videos I list the tools that I use in the video description. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the quick reply

You're welcome

It was $7700....of course that was back in early 2019. So, now it's probably more like $15k to $17.5k. Of course there all many variables that can affect the final price. Also, that is the job price and not the material price. Thanks for watching

Do you mean the knee wall height? If so then 3 feet. If not let me know

No leaks. The pitch was lower, but, roof paper said to stagger with a double layer and would be fine for that pitch. Thanks for watching

Haha no. Thanks for watching

Haha I agree with you. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the comments and for watching. If I could only get paid by the drops of sweat.....

Nope sorry.... But a lot of changes is spot on. Thanks for watching

I'm not concerned about time anymore. I enjoy what I do and feel like I strike a balance well. I would prefer the cost of the additional tool in my pocket most of the time. Thanks for watching

Thanks for the comment

I think you've had too many Coronas and Modelos!
