[@MattWeedon]

My regret with building a deck in this type of neighborhood is that it raises you up higher. I wish I spent the money on a fancy patio and gained extra privacy. Love your channel!!

[@markrinear4666]

Exactly my thought. Looks like a stage.

[@jacobsweeney2330]

if it is not wood, it is toxic for the soil. WOOD IS GOOD!

[@emailaccount1000]

Add plants to the top of your fence line and you'll make up the privacy!

[@evanferguson1105]

Honestly a patio wouldn’t have cost that much more if u did it yourself and would last a long time as long as u properly used your base material and chip stone. Only sounsite is u have to dig up to ten inches deep for the entire area of your patio but if u have some kids to help it’s not that big of a deal

[@miatika]

I appreciate him showing DIYers, but this is not easy. Plus with all the required tools, there’s a reason it’s expensive

[@JasonStory-dq1ie]

Just want to say I really enjoy your show. I’ve been a contractor for about 30 years love your tips and tricks lotta times when I do fencing like what you’re doing. I like to pre soak my fence with a water hose and then use a $10 pump up sprayer from the big box stores and then use a bristle brush like you’re using to scrub into it. Once again love your show first time commenting.

You are a super Dad to do this for your daughter! Great organized builder with so much knowledge that you share freely. Some people are simply jealous of your skills and energy to do that kind of hard labor and create something so awesome. She will have the most awesome back yard in the neighborhood and not have to mow too much grass! There are lots of ways to create privacy with potted trees and shade gazebos...etc. 👍

Hey, if you really want to use the red green stirring paddle, I have three suggestions: 1- you were going to pour the sealer into the 5-gallon bucket anyway, why not set the can in there before stirring? 2- use the drill on low gear 3- make your paddle smaller. 😊

[@davidwilson1724]

Great video, as always. I have picture-framed my decks for the past 30 years. I would make one change to your design, based on my experience...eliminate the flat 2x4 between the rim and inner joists. I've built three decks, one without a flat support board and two with a flat support board (like your design). No problems with the first one; major rotting of the ends of the deck boards on the other two...water and debris gets into the interface joint and cannot clear. My solution: The interface joint between the picture-framed and the regular deck boards should be free-draining to prevent future water damage. The inner rim joist would be located to support the ends of the deck boards. The picture-framed decking is supported by the rim joist (and intermediate blocking if needed to prevent overturning). Keep up the good work!

[@nanse8548]

This is a great video. I put 8 of these in upstairs and I'm going with a different brand downstairs. But these have held up well so far. I did have to replace a sash for the same issue, but they sent a new one right out. It's amazing how much they charge to put these in. It really is one of the easiest DIY projects to take on. Thanks for posting this.

You have one of the most informative channels on KZbin. If it was my own privacy screen, I would've ripped enough off from every cedar plank to make the full height with spacers. Not time efficient, but pleasing to the eyes.

[@kenbagwell8551]

Loved how he broke things down into 3 kinds of remodels. You don't have to take everything to the studs and start over. Not changing a tub saves a LOT. Not doing any tile work saves a LOT. Using a simple floor system saves a LOT. The time, complexity, money and risk go up like a hockey stick. Older lath-and-plaster homes are the worst.

Carriage bolts are not code compliant in my area nor can you bolt a girder to the side of your support post. $35,000 deck? I have not built a deck with 4x4s in over 20 years! Notched 6x6s and a double 2x10 for a girder is the proper way to do this!

Nice work,, Here's my only tip.. after 35 years building decks. We use to space deck boards.. But about 20 years ago, I started snugging them as tight as I can.. Why? they shrink. and after a year any rain goes though the gabs after shrinking... also women will Love you because their heals don't get stuck in gaps in the decking. Plus I used galvanized casement finish nails to nail down boards, and I set them below the deck surface... After a year you can't see the nails heads and easier to sand later on.

[@sonnykwan6845]

Been watching your videos and have learned a lot from you. One thing I can suggest to you when you are cutting that 2x8 with a 10 inch saw and you come short 1 inch, is roll /lift your board up towards the saw, then you don't need to flip it over and cut the other end. Seattle/Tacoma WA

[@BakerJ790]

Great Video man! You definitely need to get you some Irwin (or Dewalt) quick grips from Lowes or Home Depot to keep your hands free when your hanging wood that you need to attach. You'd be surprised at how much weight they can hold. Rebuilt an 800 Sq. Ft. Dock on my own by using them to hold things in place while I maneuvered the other end. Safe to say they'd help you build that table a little easier. They're great for keeping a board snug against a 6x6 when you're trying to put in the first screw or for holding a board in place while you're trying to get a clean accurate cut.

Jeff, what I saw a guy do to run electrical wire thru conduit was to take a piece of plastic (piece of bread wrapper works great) and tie the string to it then use a shop vac to suck the string thru the conduit.

[@joshuaricks7730]

Great video. I still have so much respect for you guys and gals that do residential. You probably just misspoke, so my comment is toward the newer techs.....The compressor does not convert gas to a liquid. It compresses the vapor to a higher pressure and higher temp superheated vapor. If anyone ever forgets, just think about where the refrigerant goes after the compressor. The refrigerant then goes to the condenser. The condenser then takes that superheated vapor and de-superheats it and "condenses" that vapor until it then changes state back to a liquid. Happy HVACing.

I got like a vinyl plastic fence installed in my backyard.

Thankfully it’s covered by our homeowners insurance!

[@jag5316]

I wonder if Jeff’s daughter appreciates how lucky she is. I just feel lucky that this guy puts out these DIY videos for me to follow so I can have more nice things instead of having to play The Price is Right.

It'd be interesting to see a real breakdown of the costs. Eg. Did the $6k include the privacy fence, bench brackets, all the screws and hardware, etc., or is that the cost of lumber? On top of that, most diy'ers don't have all the tools you do. Great video either way. Love how you always explain why you do certain things and provide tips along the way.

[@Doghouse_520]

This is true and he makes it look like its fun. As your bending over cutting lifting climbing digging etc gets tiring and hard on the back to someone that has never done this work

[@TonyG_VT]

I agree. I started watching this and it’s fascinating to see how it’s done. I feel like I’m not smart enough to do this. The true cost would include materials + tools + time + help + hours of therapy to deal with the aggravation. Seems like it’s intended for people with many years of experience.

[@derreckmckenzie5521]

Well if your a dyi'er and don't have the most basic tools hammer, measuring tape, square, cordless drill, level and a saw , could be a simple skill saw don't need a thousand dollar miter saw or a pneumatic framing nailer and compressor but if you have them it makes life a little easier when solo though screws are a better choice anyway just takes a little longer the only tool thats not a dyi'er norm is the hidden fastner. If you can't spend the $200 on basic tools, cheaper if used facebook marketplace will have everything you need for 100 bucks thats including a chopsaw wont be an industrial but dyi'er dont need one get a boxstore compound miter saw for 50 bucks all day long used or 10-20 bucks for a skill saw might have to plug it in but if you wanna cheap out on tools corded will cheaper just have to spend another 10 bucks for an extension cord . Or wait for a contractor to come do the work might take a year and add 25k to price for labour but beats spending 200 bucks on tools, Local handyman might be faster since all the contractors will be booked , probably do the job for 15k labour plus supplies at 15% markup of course , but could be finished within 6 months and last 5 years before needing to be torn down and replaced if your lucky it'll just fall down on its own and save you 500 on demo. Pretty sure he said 6000 for the lumber and deck supplies everything else was added on after he started so probably 8000 after everything said and done. Being for his daughter who just announced a wedding is coming soon would cause a little overkill in normal procedure costing few grand more but still not anywhere near the 40k a contractor would charge and he knows its done proper and will handle the use , ive been on a deck thats collapsed dew to being over the weight limit it was 20x8 maybe a little bigger about 8 people which was fine till number 9 showed up and her 110 pounds was just to much for the 2 year old deck luclily it was only about 7feet high to the floor of the deck and other then a broken arm on one and cuts and bruises on the rest everyone was fine others havent been luckly, using cheap labour who just wanna slap it together and get paid and dissappear .

[@mchilly]

As far as the spacing goes, there are many ways to achieve consistent gaps. One method would be that you could rip just one board to the needed width and place it on the top, bottom, or anywhere. This would give you consistent gaps and only one board would have a smaller width. The other method would be to calculate the necessary width of each board with the width of the gaps and rip each board with a table saw to that calculated width. This would give you consistent widths and gaps but would be more labor intensive. Stacking two boards on top of each other without any gap isn't recommended as they could shrink, expand, or buckle with the weather and temperature changes. With that being said, this is a great DIY video!

[@foghornleg90]

Your videos are ALWAYS AWESOME, and so helpful. One thing you *might* consider for your 'third hand' to help place and level those 2x10's when you are only going up 24" ... use an ATV hoist in the middle. They are already 'wide' (for balanced support), are quickly adjustable, and would give you more flexibility, without having to screw & unscrew. THANKS for the point on the cut pressure treated posts.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

not a good day to be decking at 77. Cheers!

[@j.6756]

I use a 2 foot quick clamp and a small 2x4 cutoff to add a third hand which can hold one end of the 2x10 at the proper height or two perpendicular wood pieces of together. 6" clamps work well on the sides of the 4x4's. Beats driving and undriving screws in and out... then in again.

Same thing happened with my parents. They wanted their 12' x 24' deck and stairs replaced. It was pressure treated wood and the frame and posts were fine, just the deck boards and railings needed to be replaced. It was about 5' off the ground. They got 7 quotes and they ranged from $28K - $38K. I ended up doing it for about $7K in material. It took me about a month as I would work on weekends and after work but they weren't in any rush.

Welcome back, Ovi. I have a question for your wife Maria. What does she know about the plant Peruvian Ruda?. Do you have one in your garden?. Does she know what is rude or rude good for in tea. I've never try it... thanks.

definitely building this. only question: how did you attach the end joists that are not off-set to the rim?

[@rob4freedom2012]

Excellent job. Was up through the night watching it. Many thanks 🙏

Thx Jeff, love the info and a refresh for an aging brain, but because of you I never go anywhere without 2 things for, “doh!” Moments, electrical tape and superglue 😅

As far as the privacy fence goes, I would prefer to cut 45 degree on all the edges first and space them less than the overhang. That way you get actual privacy, air flow, and space for wood movement.

Excellent build! Yet, should we build the fence a little higher to counter the height of the deck and offer a bit more privacy for yourself and the neighbors?

At 2:18:30 I thought you were going to put the screw in the lower one and use the claw hammer as a fulcrum to pull them flush and then put another screw in.

I especially like your "hammer drill". The handy man's multi-purpose drill.😄

Greyed out cedar is beautiful! Not everyone on Nantucket is crazy or lazy!
