Don't use the impact feature of the drill on Phillips heads and they will come out easy.

[@georgeday5901]

When your screwing in screws do you always have the impact/hammer action on,because I dont .

[@StephFourie21]

@@georgeday5901 Nope, however it did look like the hammer action was on when they were undoing the screws at the bottom. Even better solution, dont use phillps heads hahahaha.

[@dcrowsfeet]

I laugh at myself for watching your videos. I’m a 77 yo woman watching construction. Sounds crazy, right? But you guys have such personalities and esprit de corp I enjoy every minute of your videos. Jamie explains things and I enjoy the learning. You really make building interesting!! Sometimes things Eric explain go right over my head but I don’t care. You are all a bunch of happy souls and fun folks and I enjoy you all.

Another great project done. Cant wait for the next house build. Big big thanks, for sticking with the KZbin thing. It means so much to so many of us to hangout with the Perkins Crew. Much love!

[@cullenhallbelmont]

me too i think theyre doing a big one

[@some0ne8]

Wow, that really came out great. Love that it doesn't even obstruct the view from inside.

That’s so funny, Eric secretly texting the next homeowner telling them to phone Jamie to get him to stop talking 😁

[@Manson04]

What I like about this episode is showing even pros are still learning, never be satisfied always look for new and better methods of doing things

[@Hobocreekfarm]

I’m a firm advocate for every porch needs a good roof. It makes it so much more usable.

The Perkins gang are the best by a country mile ,I been with them for about 5 years love the crew but still miss Arlo,he was the man God Bless you all thanx cheers ❤️🙏👍😃🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸🧌

[@hb4519]

Another idea for straightening up that deck if you don't want to use metal. Make a T shape out of timber first (with screws) and then attach that to the underside of the deck T shape up. You get the strength of the member on edge and a flange to fasten through. Keep up the great work, this is my favourite channel on KZbin.

[@pedroallen]

I was just thinking that. It’s called a strong back.

[@markdalton55]

Great idea! Was thinking to string line or laser level the wave and find the “culprits” double those joist by jacking them into place.. Basically jacking the straighter. IMHO 😂👍

[@kschleic9053]

Just wrote a comment saying the same thing. I've seen this done before and it is very effective

[@jasonschulte6985]

I’d skip the t shape and just out a 2x4 on end and suck it up tight with some 5” or 6” spax or grk washer headed lags!

[@ianthepelican2709]

I was going to suggest using angle iron, but that wouldn't be cheap, strong but definitely not cost effective.

[@1981Stylechild]

Holy moly! Is that the first time Jamie has done a wrap up? "Thanks for building with us".

[@16jocko]

Turned out really great. You should do a one year update on your projects, would be really interesting. On this one we could see if those flat 2x6s worked out.

[@danzimmer95]

They are used like that all the time. It’s a really strong roof deck.

[@eugenementz3195]

I’m sure the homeowners would love that 😂

[@TheMidwestWaterproofing]

Jamie with the wrap-up! Happy Mother's Day. Mrs. Jamie!

[@Romona-fz6xr]

So excited for your next build. The preview of the house looks freaking amazing

[@bono8106]

Way to go Jamie for doing the outro! 👏👏👏

[@DumbfoundedMadman]

You guys do some fantastic work. Even better are the locations you get to do it on. The home owners you do work for have some of the coolest plots with great views. (Probably also a decent amount of money to afford the plots and the quality craftsmanship) Regardless, thanks for sharing your knowledge and a glimpse into the good life. Keep up the good work.

[@diyhandcraftedlifestyle9151]

Jamie is pure knowledge, this is why we all say LET HIM TALK lol.

[@kschleic9053]

A suggestion for next time (or if you want to go back and make the deck completely flat) : Make a T joist using 2x 2x6s. One on edge vertically, screwed and glued down onto the centerline of the "flat" second board. Then take this assembly (after the glue dries) up under the deck, and put two big lags into each jois through the flat board. Put them tight on either side of the vertical stem of the T. Ive seen this technique used to flatten floors in old houses and 2x10 joists can be pulled flat so hard it cracks the plaster and can break the nails in the hardwood floors above

[@helpigotaquestion]

Wow I love that it’s invisible from the inside of the house

[@tmoss7122]

Thank you for letting Jaime talk, and seeing him do the outro was a bonus!

[@steerclear01]

Wide flange angle iron would pull those joists in line perfectly, it would also give you the strength in 2 directions.

[@racmakes]

That was my first tought too

[@AddMehh]

When I hear "today is the last day", I know three more videos of the job are coming.

[@rajvirsingh3622]

I learn more here then studying 2 years in college

[@Kristina_Australia]

What was great about this episode was that not only did we learn something but so did PBB! Your attention to detail is shown in your work quality, your willingness to repaint so the home owner can just enjoy their holiday time there and that if you were to go back and do that project again, how you would change a few items. Thanks for another great episode 😁

[@SBauiLund]

The Jamie info is brilliant, still miss Arlo. Btw, it could be a funny segment to show your trucks with tools , one at a time, like a mtv criib but with your work trrucks and tools . best regards, and thank you for great content. Sebastian, Denmark

[@tombrown8428]

I learn a ton when Jamie talks.

[@MyLilMule]

Bituthane is used as an ice and water shield up here in the northern part of the US. Often only used on the edges of the roof to prevent ice dams, but I prefer to use it on the entire roof. It self heals when nailing on shingles.

[@PhilBuildsThis]

Finally letting Jaime talk. I'm here for it! It's cool to hear the technical details on why you're doing something. Now i gotta go under my deck and to put 2x6s to prevent the lumpy bumpys. Good thing I saw this now instead of later this week when all my composite boards come in. Thanks!

[@mussimike]

I’m loving the extra Jamie exposition,

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Rays learning why I stopped driving my pickup to site 😂. The roof looks fantastic

[@CybekCusal]

I think the reason your tongue and groove boards cup is because you only seal one face. My understanding the correct way is to seal all sides to prevent the cupping.

[@AlAmantea]

The deck roof came out nice, guys! I love the idea from Jamie about the double span for the rafters. The 32" spacing gives it a way more open feel than 16" OC would have. Outdoor stain is always a crap shoot, especially trying to match an existing tint. It came out fantastic!

[@rhondakennedy819]

OMGosh! That is so funny Erik trying to figure out what Jamie is doing on camera🙂 Love these guys. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@deckdogsllc3832]

Joist blocking or "bridging" is a must with composite decking. We block 6' or 8' o.c. think of composite decking as a wet noodle it shows every deflection. 12" o.c. joists help also.

[@broc226]

Yeah, kinda surprised by Jamie's comments, I thought blocking was code for any span over 8'. And particularly important when the joists are still wet and the decking material doesn't resist deflection.

[@patrickf310]

I’m building a new house with covered deck. Deck is 50x20 and I haven’t seen yet how it’s framed. If I don’t see blocking when I go check on it in a week I’m def. telling builder I need it after watching this video series. Any other suggestions?

[@smcox1991]

@@patrickf310 make sure they put joist tape as well. It’s cheap and protects the area that always rots out first.

[@SHOE53]

the guys who built my composite deck about 10 years ago all joists are 12" o. c. thought that was pretty common knowledge working with composite?

[@patrickf310]

@@smcox1991I’ll find out next week. Hopefully they did. If not I’m not sure if I can brush on water sealer from underside?

[@LSRL2003]

For straightening the joists create somewhat of a “California corner” which would solve the issue of having to toe screw but would provide the strength and rigidity of the lumber ran the 1”1/2 way.

[@kiwigeeknz]

Never heard of a rain chain before. Now I have seen two on your videos.

[@ronlovell5374]

Better than bridging, a single row of solid blocking, full joist height, could even be offset 1.5 inch center line for easier fastening, with very snug fit, (no gaps is crucial) right down the middle of the span. Start from one end, using a bottle jack or a screw post to lift the sagged ones up till blocks and joist are flush/even. Fasten the blocking well. I've done this in dozens of renovations, straightening, leveling, removing bouncing and squeaks, while adding strength and reinforcement against joist deflection on floors and decks, especially when prepping for expensive tile installations.

[@patrickkenny2077]

Looks sharp!

[@waynegoertzen8598]

We have that same reputation at the lumber yard, apparently. Last week we the guy helping us kept putting boards to the side even though we said they would all be cut up into little pieces and the quality didn't really matter this time.
