The RIGHT way to do DECK POSTS? // 12' x 10' Mobile Home Deck Build - Pt. 2

[@marthaboswell9720]

I have learned so much from the both of you. I love that you are not putting yourself in debt by buying a new trailer or building an expensive house. Hats off to the whole family.

[@lindajc123]

No judgement here either Sam. It's refreshing to know that you and Angela are "just like us" - imperfect - and not TV stars. Keep on keepin' on. We like it like that.

[@TobyCatVA]

I agree, however I would watch that TV show.

[@lisaconverse5858]

No judgment here, Sam. Your work and your work ethic is impeccable. Can’t wait to see the finished porch 😄 … Be safe and take care both of you

[@sam-and-angela]

Aww, thanks!

[@rozetiamomoh2044]

Started my week off right with this video. 🎬Thank you! I can sing my happy song now. “🎼Sam & Angela’s on, fa-la-la-la-la”🎶

[@bethdurbin3279]

You two are doing so awesome, we would NEVER judge you! So please never consider or worry about that. I do not judge other’s as I do not want to be judged. I feel like a part of your family and I love you guys. I’m enjoying all of your video’s and have for so long. Thank you for another great video and can’t wait for the next one!!! Love from SE Ohio. 🌲🌻

[@carlapierle8623]

No judgement here, Sam! I commend you and Angela for what you're doing and being brave enough to put yourself out there. All while teaching us stuff!!

[@dorisgreenberg2811]

Oh my I got the thumbs one right away! Angela, you are so sweet, I wish we were neighbors. Sam throws in these laughs so sneakily. I love it! My husband and I always did projects together. What a great thing to be able to do.

[@deborahlehman8617]

Your doing fine Sam, love to watch to the end for your bloopers and you are sometimes too hard on yourself we all know how much work you put in to making a perfect video that we all enjoy!!thanks😀

[@suzylarry1]

The attraction to this channel is ...you folks are real and that's life. Not like the world beyond your property as ...that's internet and you can't tell real from fake ! Keep it real

[@chasing_happiness]

SAM! No judgement my friend. Y'all have become like family to us. We look forward to seeing y'all. We love y'all. Take care of yourselves. ❤️

[@karlagrymes649]

You’re right I have judged you. You’re freaking awesome as parents, as a husband and wife team, as hard workers, thinking outside of the box. I just like you. Good people. 👍🏾👍🏾THAT IS MY JUDGEMENT!

[@dhanakhei9911]

Sam, you and Angela are adorable and relatable, just be yourselves! The Boys do an awesome job too, they are so at ease with us, my grandson wants to be a KZbinr too (playing video games !) But he will be 10 on Halloween so his plans could change! Enjoyed it very much can't wait for the next one !! Love from Shreveport Louisiana grandma ❤️

[@jaynebennett3401]

Always get excited when I see a post from you guys! Good job on both decks.

[@number1pappy]

I'm so glad yall are showing how to build a deck, one of many correct ways! If I could drive you around the homes were I live you'd be shocked at some of the janky and scary deck building that is prevalent here! Lol!

[@sam-and-angela]

Happy to share one way to do it. :) And you're right.. man some of the things you can see done to houses out in the country! :)

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Sam! No judgement here!! You and Angela have the BEST work ethic!! You know how to do everything!!! You be you. That’s why I love your channel - you’re all real people! 💛

[@ronniepruett9436]

No judgement here . I think you are doing great. I have a 1995 14 x 70 Brigadier home. Interior same as yours. I've paid a fortune doing improvements on mine. Wish I had Sam and Angela to help. You two are made for each other. You work so great as a team. I wish I lived close enough to be neighbors. And I live in NC......Take care, keep those videos coming, I so look forward to them. God bless you all,,,

[@Katzbynite]

LOL! Those outtakes! "I am not here to look pretty" Why people think that there is just one way of doing things? I have noticed this on many occasions that a new product is deemed "not up to code" when it truly is. Some people just seem to hate change for every darn reason without really doing much research. They also fail to understand that building codes are different around the country. Nice job on getting the pads pretty level, it was hard work but, in the end, saved extra work. Great job!

[@JBeazzy]

No judgements my man. All love. Ain't nobody else gotta live in it but you. You guys are doing awesome! God bless.

[@sam-and-angela]

Bingo bango! :) Much appreciated!

[@denisewilson8367]

Glad you got as much as you could done before the rain. Loved the thumb joke. LOL Angela needs more nail time.

[@kathrynmauro8673]

Hey 👋 Sam & Angela from Georgetown, Texas. I love seeing how the two of you and your boys are making memories and building your new home. You are getting closer to moving in! 👏

[@annwilliams9519]

Hi Family I have been watching you a while now, thinking back to the beginning of your work on your single wide Palm Harbour mobile home (is that right Sam) What a wonderful home you are making for your family. Love watching you and look forward to your consistent content output. I can always rely on you two. Regards Ann from UK

[@charlene5461]

Thanks for the heads up on the "easy" way for us DIYers! Saves so many, "let me go back and re-do that" syndromes! So much info, so many to share it with! Y'all are a blessing to a bunch of us DIYers!💖 Have a blessed week!!

[@fanguy247b9]

Y’all are awesome love the channel no judgements other than I think you two are just down to earth genuine people who normal folks like me can relate to.

[@mlm7598]

LOL No judgement from me Sam, lol, I just love watching Angela and yourself and the boys going about your day in whatever way you do it and I love watching the progress. Excited for you to get back to your woodworking also with the lathe so I can watch some of that. LOL The back porch/deck is going to be nice. All kinds of bbq can be done there and hanging out .......like that the door comes out there and right cross the way from the kitchen. Exciting to see the progress. Will be waiting for your next post! Have a great week!

[@sam-and-angela]

Yes to all of the above! :)

[@kayekaye9258]

one word: AWESOMENESS (is that a word:?) lol You all are the kind of family that everyone would be blessed to call a friend and or neighbor. Love you all and wishing only good things.

[@flatbroke68]

You two are awesome. Y’all make me smile a lot. I love your videos for the lessons and the good humor. I feel like the Lord has blessed y’all tremendously. Would love to meet your family sometime!! Keep up the good work and the awesome videos. May God continue the blessings for your family.

[@sam-and-angela]

We agree 1,000% percent that we've been blessed! We would NEVER have thought we could do all of this. It's been amazing!

[@CoastlineMx]

Hey y'all....want to say I have been watching you all since the very beginning. Love your videos and enjoy watching how you all do different things. I myself just got done remodeling a 1989 72ft long oakwood home . Seems it never stops with stuff to do . As I am sure you both can relate to that. You all have such a beautiful family and keep them videos coming ! You all have a great weekend God bless !!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Sam FYI no judgement here one of the reasons I enjoy your channel is because you are Just “normal” people don’t change a thing! As always you guys are making great progress!

[@sam-and-angela]

I appreciate that! I'm too stuck to change now. LOL

[@normandothegreat]

We used 360° laser line levels back in the mid 80's when we were building the second solar plant in the Mojave Desert. The lines were infrared and required special receivers, but are truly a Godsend! Your project is looking great! Stay hydrated (with water) Y'all.

[@sam-and-angela]

Very cool!! I bet those were some high dollar lasers! :)

[@normandothegreat]

@@sam-and-angela I'm sure! We weren't allowed to touch the lasers/pods, they were set up by the surveyor(s), we were only able to use the receivers when we set the forms and to make sure the concrete crew did not move anything out of requirement specs after their pour. One of the crewmembers was let go for "adjusting" the laser after he accidentally kicked one of the legs. Our measurements were only allowed for errors less than 1/32" maximum, tight tolerances considering we were working on sand. It was an experience that's for sure. 🥴👍

[@sandrahoglan7452]

Things are really coming together. The decks are looking great.Really excited to see the inside when you all finish with that.

[@ChristianandFamily]

I saved my thumbs by purchasing and using a palm nailer

[@janetkoball44]

Real good progress. Enjoy it every time. Didn't see your boys. Guess they are playing in the shade. Thanks

[@sam-and-angela]

They were just outside the camera shots in the woods swinging, yep. You can hear them a little in some of the clips. They're rarely beyond earshot. LOL

[@bettyboop7738]

Love watching your progress on your new place...but your interaction with your family ( and them with you ) is very nice! Keep up the good work family 👍🥰

Remember Sam, us left handers are the only ones in the right state of mind. 👍👍

That's hilarious. I just got that exact level last week. I couldn't pass up $89. Haven't used it except to try it out, but it seems really nice.

[@ronaldmartin7892]

Another interesting video. The laser levels are great. A bit after my time I'm afraid. I'm from a time when we used a water level- A 13mm dia.plastic pipe full of water and string lines. Progress I suppose, but more costly. It's all coming along nicely. Well done. Strength to your elbows.

wow what you guys up to? Sam & Angela, you are wonderful when it comes to building it like a professional did it.

[@robinrummel1359]

I appreciate how you explain everything about your projects, makes it easy to understand! Also, wonder if you can tell me where Angela got her straw hat? I have a garden hat but it's made of a synthetic material and makes me sweat. I like the tie, wide brim and crown on hers, just can't seem to find a similar one online.

[@sam-and-angela]

Here's a link to her exact one (the brown one). amzn.to/3w9aGSP She's had it for two years and it still looks great!

[@valerieburchett8951]

Great to see you and how you build deck

[@trxtech3010]

Yep nothing wrong with using the proper screws. There are so many people out there who are totally not with up to date with todays world. I personally like screws better (proper used on likes you are using) because after 5 or 10 years from now (especailly here in AZ where wood shrinks fast) I see nails working their way out all the time on decks, steps and other outside structures. I rarly ever see screws come out.

[@b.powell3480]

Great job!, however, you need to turn every other bracket 90 degrees so that your posts don't have a tendency to lean one way or the other when the deck is loaded. Also remember to cut and install your diagonal 4x4 braces to prevent rocking and swaying of the deck framing!! Have fun, and send some rain to Southern California!, lol 😆

Some aspects of this look very familiar. My husband has been building a shed roof over the small patio we have behind our house. He also used those screws with the posts for the outside side where he needed to put up a beam to attach the roof rafters.

Hi Sam & Angela No judgement here. I know there's a certain amount of effort to create a good video. But as far as I'm concerned just being yourself good or bad is more enjoyable to watch than some choreographed video where only the perfect aspects are shown. To me that's boring, because no one's life is perfect. Sam Thanks for explaining each phase of the project. Angela Thanks for throwing in a funny remark or two. Thats why I like the bloopers at the end Curious as to what the red thing is in the background on several shots. Wishing you the best Stay strong and safe

[@sam-and-angela]

Thanks Jim! That's a New Holland Hayliner 273 square baler. :) I bought it earlier in the year from an auction hoping to use it for our fields. It ate some new parts and then let us down come bale-day. I've either got to buy more parts, or sell it and find another before we can bale our own hay next year.
