Theres nothing more satisfying than getting your boards parallel and staying that way the entire run and not having to start cheating one end to get parallel again. Using clamps as you put your decking down will keep your boards from those little micro amounts of movement that happens when you're driving a screw in just using your foot. I've seen a lot of guys put the first board down and don't even bother using a string to check how straight its running. Thats when you know it's going to be a long, frustrating job of constantly having to measure for parallel, cheating one end, etc. and they'll make those same mistakes every single job. Clamps only take a few extra seconds now, but they will save you a lot of minutes down the line when you realize the boards have drifted off course.

Have you seen any long term results on joists that were taped with joist tape? And how many feet do you get out of a roll and the current cost? We were talking about buying some on a pier job a while back but the price wasn't very attractive and we had never used it and didnt really know if it justified the price at the time but that was shortly after Covid. A guy I knew that had been doing decks for a very long time said that he came across two decks that were about 80 years old and said the subframing was still good but said on both of those decks, they used felt paper on the tops of the joists/girders. Thats what they used a long time ago on decks and other outdoor structures before joist tape came out. But the wood treatments that they used then are now illegal because of eco reasons but they were a lot more effective than current treatment chems.

Man I haven’t been at it long enough yet to know, I was late to construction only been at it 8 years… but I definitely agree with you the changes to wood treatments due to regulations make me think any additional protection you can add is worth it!

@@AMAYERICAN Have you had the pleasure of pulling an old piling up that was treated in creosote oil while not wearing a shirt? That stuff will really let you know you're alive about 5 minutes after it touches your skin! That was one of the old treatments from a long time ago that's been outlawed but that stuff would make wood last outdoors or in water for a very long time. Once you get it on your skin, you'll know why nothing wants to eat the wood that's been treated with it. The current treatments are pressure-pushed into the wood to help it penetrate deeper into the board but one of the bad things about that is that's what causes the pressure treated 2x lumber to have non-consistent widths down the length of the board. It makes the boards swell slightly and how much or how little the board swells depends on the grain pattern in the wood down the length of the board so that's why it doesn't swell evenly a lot of times. Every day guys who run the saw at the saw mills are cussed out by hundreds construction workers around the country b/c they see the inconsistent widths and they think its from a guy really drunk/high running a saw somewhere but the truth is its caused by the pressure treatment process.

Hey welcome back brother! That thing looks like a beast. I kind of wonder how their finish hammers compare to a standard wooden handle. I'd probably be in the market for that before a framing hammer myself, but only because I'm not doing a ton of framing work.

It is and ik I was torn between the framing and finish hammers, the M4 looks great but I still think a finish hammer should be wood. The Douglas hammers are pretty sick, that was going to be my other choice. Hope all is well brother!

I have the same saw, an R-4513. Everything that is stated in this video is spot on. I’ve had mine for about the same amount of time. The Achilles heal of this saw is the blade height adjustment. It just never has worked properly. There is work arounds but you shouldn’t have to. Plus, the saw constantly needs tuned for fine woodworking. Great video!

I love the cabot's wood stripper. I used it on my front porch and it worked great. Today, I used the remaining of my jug on my back deck and I ran out of product. My process is applying it with a sprayer and then washing it off with my Ryobi 1900 PSI pressure washer, works great. I went back and bought another Cabot's wood stripper, wood brightener, and Thompson's clear wood seal. I plan to use the brightener after i'm done stripping my deck, but i'm not sure if I'll use the Thompson's sealer or go with another product to seal/stain my deck.

8x8 wraps for 6x6 posts, pack out post where railing attaches for your screws to anchor into, and wrap the post with zip tap/ butyl tape as the wood treatment in green treat will react with the aluminum wraps if they come in contact with one another. 👍

Working on a front porch renovation, completely redoing the deck frame and decking swapping out the posts and I assumed there would be a beam underneath the “box beam” totally surprised me when I did a small cut out and found it was hallow haha. Did you do the same technique for the sides as well or is the front what’s holding all the weight mostly? Planning on doing exactly what you did here but not sure if I need to add some beams to support the sides or just adding the beam to the front would be sufficient. Any advice would be awesome, good video man!
@AMAYERICAN 3 ай бұрын
Thanks ! And I was shocked as well, I did add a doubled up 2x8 as well on the sides to help reinforce/ secure to the house. Isn’t necessary unless you have a hip roof though. Advice is take your time, build a temp wall to secure the load. Cannot emphasize adequately bracing and supporting the load enough for safety reasons obviously. Use a level line and bottle jacks to take out any sags. Use structural screws (GRKS) #10x 3 1/8 And just take your time. You can message me on instagram if you need any help!

Been doing deck resurfacing for 17 years and seeing as most of the stain/sealer is well bonded.....you should be using a drum sander ! The result is amazing and when you're in business the time saved is quite justified. The orbital is okay for decks that are faded grey or most of the old stain is gone but painted or stain sealed requires a drum sander.
