Yo bro this was awesome great job bro especially doing it all by yourself,(I mean you had some help here or there, but the actual harder work 😁😂 no offense ladies) but all in all I’m very impressed, that was a super job well done, God bless bro 💪🏼😎🙏🏼
Looks like southern yellow pine lumber he's using. This deck looks great. I was wondering what the building code for decking is in their area, I saw a few things that should be coded as a standard.
Great stuff however ; can we hear you talk and walk us thru ? Not everyone can build decks sure would like hear your process & why? I am a finish carpenter? Which means I don’t build decks but may need one at my place? Yours looks great! Are you a contractor or subbing out?

My questions are not meant to criticize but to ask questions. Why did you cover the main beams with rubber tape and not the joists? Why are some joists not end-to-end and offset, and others run the entire length? If the main beams were 3 thick instead of 2 thick, couldn't you have put the joists end to end? The kick plate on the last step is in 2 pieces. Could you not have made it 1 piece like the others? Thank you for the video.
I covered the Beams ( Girders as some people call them) because I didn't want to have water trapped in between over time. Some of the joists are doubled because at those points the deck is 17 feet, so I used a 8 ft and 10 ft to give me the 17ft I needed and at least a foot of overlap over the beam. Lumber comes in specific lengths and didn't wonna place a 'Special Order' for a single length joist and and spend more $$ as well. Doubling up doesn't compromise the structure. The end to end joists are upto 16 ft which was ready available. The doubled up pieces of risers at bottom steps was temporary. Still had to add railing and concrete landing. The completed look is on PT 2 ua-cam.com/video/x9xLWluW9VQ/v-deo.html Hope that answered your questions.
Deck will not hold long, you failed to connect the main supports to the house properly, you have to bolt the support the house not just screws or it will come lose at some point.
The Ledger Board IS secured using 5" LedgerLOK Structural Ledge Board Screws. Inspected and passed. The initial few screws are only meant to temporarily hold the ledger in place till the Joists locations are established. You should watch the video again. 22:58 and PT 2 video ua-cam.com/video/x9xLWluW9VQ/v-deo.html
Do you think you will give this customer a deck build malfunction service call? We'd really like to know or show us a pic of your secured deck to home method
The majority disagree.. it's a personal preference I guess. Totally entitled to the opinion. The customer is VERY happy though and everything upto code.
Didn't just "wet it", the concrete was properly and thoroughly mixed and given enough time to cure before building on. The video is just fast forwarded..otherwise I would a 10 min clip of mixing concrete per hole. You can ABSOLUTELY pour dry (in post holes and/or in a form) and then add water to mix in place. I've done that over 20 yrs and never failed. FYI, it's called Ready Mix for a reason. ua-cam.com/video/x9xLWluW9VQ/v-deo.htmlsi=0lJz1uVV13cOljlP
Its nice to see a man who knows what he is doing. I built decks for 20 years in Arizona,you really know the correct way to build,great work.

@sidjbel its #1 Ground Contact Pressure-Treated SYP. Deck already inspected but I wld still love to hear your concern for the code.
👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome work ❤
Are you going to stain it top/bottom so the wood will last and look beautiful??
The homeowner will paint it as his DIY. We were only hired to build.
Good job...
Thank you so much 😀
cost ?

Hope that answered your questions.
You’re an excellent carpenter. How long did it take you?
6 days, with a couple days for concrete to be ready to build on.. so 4 days of the actual building.
Do you always work alone?
I do not. Depends on the project size.
bonjour dommage les scènes le plus intéressant 0on ne vois pas
Is your name george
It is ! 😄😄 where did u get that
You need to start doing how to build explain things cause your really good and your channel will grow
Once again, he put the bottom 2 risers in 2 pieces. Why would you do that?????? Buy another 2 pieces!!!!!!!!!!
@drakeblackwood5893 This was temporary bcos i didn't wonna leave an open hole until i got new materials in. You shld watch PT 2..

Concrete will never hold the post, you have to mix the concrete not wet it in the tube.
