Building the ULTIMATE Dock and Deck for our Lake

We built a dock AND deck for our lakefront cottage! Finding a way to access the shallow waters of our lake was a tricky project but you won't believe how it turns out!

How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

This was such an epic project that took literally months of planning and research to pull off but we couldn't be happier with how things turned out.

@@JayMills-08 Heyyyy :)

[@marktucker5440]

Hey guys! Love the new deck. It looks perfect for an early morning coffee. Would it be possible to create a removable railing for the window issue? That way it can be temporarily removed if need 😉

[@JudithBisson]

I call my break time, T&T Tea and toke time 😂

[@juliusdixon898]

Great job guys

[@justsomeguy3090]

Hey guys. Building inspector here. Put in the railing then when the house is finagled remove the railing. That simple. We all know home owners do this all the time on safety items but once your project is finaled no one cares. The fact is there are laws and safety codes in place we can’t ignore but once our job is done you can change anything you want and no one will ever know or care. This also sounds to me like the inspector is trying to be a hero and is calling stuff not in the code book. railings for windows could be done after the drywall inspection so not sure why he is calling this on a framing inspection. However , I'm an inspector in the US, but I would be nice to finally here a story where Canada is the crazy one for a change.

[@howieroarke]

Are you a Canadian inspector? As a US architect, I'm very confused how the requirement for a guardrail installed down the road would cause a framing/ MEP rough-in inspection to fail. Maybe it is just the camera angle, but the bottom of the glazing also did not appear to be within 457mm (18 inches) of the floor that would trigger safety glass in the US (International Residential Building Code Section R308.4.3).

[@1st1anarkissed]

I did this with a front deck. The railing blocked the view so hard and the drop was only 4ft. I jumped it all the time up and down. The railing and stairs got repurposed into a laundry stand.

[@ginasmitasin479]

Not to mention when one falls how would any part of you reach up that high to break the window.

[@steverdms]

Well, until it comes time to resell. Sometimes those things come back up but I mostly agree.

Make it out of high grade clear acrylic. So it won’t block the view

[@ptown20]

[@laurelpeterson1307]

A suggestion: Put a planter box across the width of the window with a trellis that reaches the top of the window. Plant a few vining plants to climb the trellis so that when you biff it and hit the wooden trellis covered in vines you'll have a softer landing and the window is protected from your clutziness. When the inspector comes back , accidentally bump him so he falls down the stairs as a means of testing the strength of the trellis.

Just want to add my two-cents worth. The best part of the view through the window will be coming down the stairs. Putting in a three-foot railing or whatever isn't going to make that much difference. There have been several suggestions of railing-adjacent ideas and some of them sound brilliant. And with Todd's design genius, this could come out to be a blessing in disguise.

For the window at the bottom of the staircase, design a decorative iron grate that protects the whole window. It will look beautiful from the outside, as well.

I agree and if you put the frame on hinges it could be opened easily for cleaning

[@Caeric77]

This was going to be my suggestion... just had to make sure someone else hadn't already mentioned it. I agree with @ildihughes2042 too... maybe one that opens like shutters, hinged on each side and a decorative clasp of some sort in the middle that's part of the design. BTW guys, love the deck!

You both are Living Large and I LOVE your helper, and all the teasing! 😂Regards to Glass Windows & Potential Concerns…I would’ve been flustered too. But more due to All the Issues up to this point. You have been soo patient & strong! May I share something real? Years ago, before “Tempered Glass”, my brother was getting ready for a meeting. He was in a hurry, went to “push open” the Glass Shower Door, and fell thru it! The loud crash heard from downstairs, we thought fersure the roof had caved in. We thought he was dead! He was severely cut, rushed to ER, lucky to have not lost his knee nor leg. He healed and continued to play Sports, but it was scary. I love the Grandness of your Tower! But, after hearing the inspection dilemma, I could see the concern. Thats why they are called “Accidents”. The stupidest incidents can happen, like a headlock in between the banister rails.🤦🏻‍♀️You both have impeccable taste from a design perspective and will figure clever way for safety! Maybe a cool rustic looking, yet beautiful wood, wrought iron, or bronze planter box (narrow) in the window? Plants would love those gorgeous windows. I like the comment too-“make do” thru inspection, but “slip & falls”, especially on stairs, tho bizarre, is reality. As always, a simple thought. I love your Cabin Life! Both Places are so Magnificent🕊️! Thank you for Sharing! xoxo❤🎉

[@divekatdreaming]

I know another setback is so frustrating for them, but this one has a reason. Tempered glass has been a requirement for a while, so stories like yours are fewer...which is the purpose, but the reasoning behind the need for the requirement is not as well known.

[@RianShafer]

You guys scored big getting Dumpy for help in so much. The dock & deck turned out great! Bummer about the inspection! I KNOW what you'd be saying if it was just us, I totally get it about the window. You can vent with us anytime. I'd put in thick tempered glass before I'd put rails where I don't want them. I loved Tangents so I look forward to it coming back when you get time.

[@jackc5315]

I agree. Bite the bullet. Get the glass. That way you won't have railings where you don't want them. Keep the lines clean. Then, if you tumble down the stairs, bounce up from the landing and smash through the glass, it will shatter, and you'll be saved. I only hope it's recorded because that'd be quite the feat. Might take several tries.

[@gblakev]

@@jackc5315 I just had an idea: they could buy enough tempered glass to form the railing and place it inside with a very minimal, decorative frame. They don't need to put tempered glass all the way up ($$$$) just high enough to protect a pedestrian from going through the window.

[@louiseclark7967]

Deep breath, Ty... Lots of good suggestions here for easy fixes that can be just as easily undone. Another suggestion? Another YTer was faced with the same problem due to having small children running around. They re-purposed a beautiful wrought-iron decorative grate that they put across the bottom of the window. Something like that in black would be gorgeous, but I'm sure not what the inspector had in mind! You will be fine. You guys always manage to get where you want to go!

If you have to build a rail for the window on the stairs, maybe you can just make it into a little planter box. Plant some succulents that don’t get very big or need much water, but have it so it functions as the rail but looks decorative. Just an idea.

Inspectors! I think they have to justify their jobs. When we were building our house and putting in the driveway they made us change the perfect apron connecting the street to the driveway. We had to tear out the concrete and put in this angled thing where we bottomed out if you took it slightly too fast. They wouldn’t listen to us or the contractor. 😮 the deck and the stairs are gorgeous as is everything you build.

[@michelfortier9563]

Looks good. BTW - here in Houston and having built several homes I lived in, you would have to do the same thing in regards to railing in front of that window. The person who did the drawings should have know the code and caught that. You're probably right, some drunk probably at one time keeled over and went through a window and sued somebody, including some building code department somewhere and now, we have another code to live by.

The fast forward view of the lake makes it look like the beach is driving at top speed out over the lake. Nice special effect! As for the window, it's about time for Tyler to buy a boxing ball! If I tell you that you need to install rails for the dock, because a gusty wind might throw somebody into the water and drown, I'm sure you will kill me for it. Hmm... That dock looks great. Next project for it would be to develop it into a lakeside marina, renting boats and having lots of paying guests... And yes, I'd love for the Tangents to be back in the winter.

Dumpy is an excellent man and he fits in with the two of you so well. It’s like you’ve known each other forever. The stairs, deck and dock are gorgeous. Thank you for this wonderful video. Cheers.

Todd continues to absolutely crack me up every week! His quick humor, you understand, is the sign of a genius!

Put the same handrails like on the deck, with the window insert, across the window... window inception. 😂

Dumpy has been a godsend to you guys. What a lovely man 😀 Can’t believe they failed you on that million 2 one chance ! 😬 Liked the idea the comment from that building inspector - excellent idea I think !

[@teresaslovingcare4444]

Holy cow that is quite the dock! Incredible! Love it!

[@tjbren576]

Canada is not the only country where ONE person can cause EVERYONE to suffer. Although, to be fair, ANY and EVERY architectural designer SHOULD have warned you about that window. Even I wondered about it when I saw what you were doing. You could also install a cute, decorative wrought iron railing or narrow plant box across the inside of the window sill. Make a wonderful iron window insert as a piece of art...

Hi guys ,Great work Todd the deck and stairs look great . Tyler the dock needs a hand rail just in case somebody falls in and drowns . Just joking HA HA. It looks very well made and sturdy . next on the list is the boat.

[@dlmcd6589]

absolutely beautiful deck Todd, don't worry Tyler you guys will have that inspector passing you guys in no time. The cottage is looking beautiful now you guys own it.

Your carpenter is stellar

[@ColletteC2106]

He’s their contractor, and he’s definitely stellar! 🙂

As soon as you said you had not passed inspection, I said, out loud, "TEMPERED GLASS" i am surprised this had not arisen earlier. Yes it is a remote possibility, but holy cow, WHAT IF.......? Get creative and put up some funky grill work that will enhance the stairwell! Maybe with some stained glass behind that will create great light effects into your space. It just needs to break a fall, but it could be so more than that!

I swear since Dumpy joined the crew the work output has ten folded it's like ye have a new pep in yere step....it is fabulous to see. And in true Todd fashion as he would say "go Dumply and that man deserves a raise!!" Honestly I am loving the progress guys....ye are back!
