Building An INVINCIBLE Deck | Part 3

Today we start out with the beams and posts up from the last episode. We realize the Zip Level needs to be calibrated and has failed us. After some macguyvering we remedied that! Then we move on to complete the frame by attaching joists at the ledger and using brackets to attach to the beam. We decided to bevel the rim joists because a small amount will be showing in the finished product. Next week we tackle the foam joist tape, and stone deck boards and fascia.

Fantastic problem solving, if it was sloping away I'd have probably left it (unless it visually looked really off).... regardless of drainage you can never leave a slope toward the structure, ever.

[@woodbullyltd]

Agreed

is that dude somebodys nefew hahahaha? havent seen a apprentice this clueless in a minute

[@JohnDoeWesside213]

Mr Wood Bully are you hiring? I finished a general carpentry apprenticeship 2 years ago.

[@kalannorman3275]

Bully, what belt is that? Great video as always brother!

[@venkatinator]

Really enjoy seeing how you fix mistakes! Great video series

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks. It’s all about how you fix them.

[@jpdavis129]

I added that zip level to my cart only to delete that thing out 10 mins later! Help me with what I missed though. I though you were off by 3/4" but it seems like you cut off more than 2" from the beam when fixing it.

[@woodbullyltd]

We were off by almost 2” it wasn’t the zips fault entirely I had not had it calibrated in a few years. Once calibrated it works great again. Still good for grading doing estimates

[@babahena9180]

Good job to you sir❤ i like it....

[@woodbullyltd]

Thank you!

Wood bully aka the composite king.

[@josephgravelle8287]

Or king of composite rather.

Measure once, cut twice The true mark of a confident tradesman. IYKYK

[@MattBehling]

I believe when you shot the ledger height the zip lever orientation was vertical plane and when you set it on the post base it was horizontal... Could be where your half inch came from.

[@woodbullyltd]

It’s calibrated for that. I think it needs to be re pressurized

[@shook483]

New guys 😂 X marks the spot

[@jbake215]

Can you drive the screws in the boards to put plugs in or do I spin after a certain point because it’s composite

[@woodbullyltd]

This stuff bites better than wood. No spin out you’d be shocked

[@14sgdpg82]

composite boards will crown in 3 years time we all know what way there gonna be sagging

[@woodbullyltd]

This is OC Lumber. It’s International Code Compliant. It does not behave like composite

[@dustinkrebs8229]

I wonder if the cold weather effected the level you had? 🤔

[@woodbullyltd]

Could be.

[@woopar305]

@@woodbullyltd maybe the cold made your steel posts 2 in too long

[@thomasmikael]

awesome video mate. keep em coming

[@woodbullyltd]

Thanks, will do!

[@kanisohana]

Have you tried a laser level?

[@woodbullyltd]

Yep. Can’t see them outside but the transit is probably the way to go

If you use a reflective card, you can find the line in the daytime
