Thank you, thank you, thank you soooo very much for the best instructional video!! Especially explaining the process of cutting around the posts crayola-style for people like me, who has had her brain fried working on my deck while having beautiful sunny, 90-degree weather with the deck in full sun all day. You, sir, are my hero!!! Thank you!!!
Hey not to nit-pick. But your drop beams aren’t attached to your 4x4 post to code. The beams shouldn’t be attached to the side of the post. The post should be notched and the beam should be resting on the 4x4 if that makes sense. You have a serious potential for the beams to sheer off. An easy fix is to install DJT14Z brackets to the post and beam. Check out the manufacturer specs on those brackets

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and methods. It helps
Hi thank you the tips on how to picture frame. Did you make cutouts on the post that supports your beam?
Second question; did you use the Camp tool with the 3/16 spacing?
