🔹//DESCRIPTION\\
The video discusses the progress on building a porch deck. Jay starts by wishing the viewer a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, then admits to lying in previous videos about finishing work for the day.
Jay then describes the process of laying down the interim pieces for the deck, spacing them 16 inches on center and offsetting the joints to prevent issues. He runs into some challenges, like not having enough lumber and issues with the adhesive and nail gun.
Jay's dogs gets into a fight, causing an injury, but he decides to try putting down some of the decking anyway. He has to adjust the placement to account for the boards not being perfectly square.
Once the base is laid, Jay and Ray start framing the walls. They ensure the wall is square before sheathing it with plywood. They also wrap the exterior with house wrap.
The summary covers the key steps of laying the deck, building the walls, and preparing the structure for the next stages of construction, despite some unexpected obstacles along the way.

Not exactly sure the ultimate plan for this room. But I'm thinking you maybe should have used poly-iso under the subfloor to help insulate and protect the underside of the floor from the weather and bugs. Whatcha think?

[@WilliamPuetz-q4k]

You are a lucky man to have a mate like Ray who will work on his day off and in the cold and snow.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I sure am.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Jay and Ray are like Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Cheech and Chong, and perhaps even the Blues Brothers! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these guys together! I could laugh my head off for a very long time with these two!!!

[@DR52783]

100% agree!

[@ronsimpson143]

Hey Jay. I have been watching your channel for a bit, and commented often. Your channel is interesting and funny. But I wanted to drop a note here to tell you how much I have appreciated your videos these past few months. I lost my nephew to cancer a few weeks ago after a brutal five month battle. When I needed something to distract me, I watched several of my favorite channels, and yours is one of top ten. I watched all the old stuff, rewatched just about everything, and looked forward to the new stuff. I am not trying to get sympathy, as some might think. I just wanted you to know that you made a difference and helped me to not go into a dark place, and I appreciate it.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Totally relateable. Jason is just such a good guy, bringing joy and laughter everywhere he goed. Even in the coldest weather his antics make you laugh. Part of the succes of the PBB channel can be contributed to him.

[@DR52783]

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand completely. It's nice Jason can bring you relief from grief if only for a short time.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I appreciate you watching my videos.

[@ronsimpson143]

@@Building_Jays_Way One of the things I enjoy about your channel, is you talk through the process without using a lot of industry speak. I am an instructional designer. I design courses for adults. The biggest hurdle I have found is when you write a course for people who are not pros. They are the new guys. They don't know the lingo. You use terms anyone can understand. I also appreciate that you show mistakes and then the process to fix them. We all make mistakes. My dad is an engineer. When things go wrong, he wants to start over. He is my best friend, and we do pretty much all our projects together. I am an improviser. I was a combat engineer in the Army, We had to learn to make do with what we had on hand. I have the ideas on how we can fix the problems.

[@mikeodoski2135]

It wouldn't be a Jays way video without the missed timelapse and the phone dying.. But seriously nice job Jay and Ray...

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks.

[@IronSikh44]

Man all this time I thought Jay and Ray were just the arm candy on Perkins. Turns out these boys can build! Good job fellas!

[@c.a.g.1977]

This is just such an awesome project! Best builder buddies team ever: Ray and Jay!

[@JesusRisen8]

Ray with the master reflexes nice catch!

[@idxerr]

Builder Buddies back in action! love to see it

[@ScottMorgan-p7h]

Looking great!! You have one helluva a buddy in Ray!!! He is always willing to be there for all you and he accepts enchiladas as payment!!!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I do pay him with dollars!!!

[@ScottMorgan-p7h]

@@Building_Jays_Way $$$ and enchiladas, even better!!! Have a great day and keep up the great work and videos!!!!

[@ClaimingChristianity]

Love your videos Jay!! Came across your channel cause Johnny at crafted workshop has the Perkins crew on a couple videos. Fell in love with your crew and watching you boys build. So naturally I came to check out your channel. You’re the exact right mix between pro vs diy. Cause you build and fix normal stuff around the house with a pro’s knowledge and just the right amount of “I don’t know but I’m gonna do it anyway”. Love it man!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Awesome. Thanks.

[@DrTubeman]

Cripes once the wall was stood up it really shows how big this project is, great team work Jay and Ray, the banter is solid gold just like your work. Keeping your data safe with AURA is a smart move... Cheers for the slick reel Jay..

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it!

[@BrianQuinton-l1e]

Jay and Ray, entertaining as always 👍👍

[@NGUNOW]

14:47 Absolutly right, no matter what tool you are using always keep the plug off. Thank you for the video!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

You are welcome!

[@stephengirtz]

19:53 nice catch Ray!!

[@DavidDavid-ft4ry]

Im glad you rotated your subfloor 90°. I was about to have a heart attack 😅

[@teresakovach4144]

WOW!! I didn't expect a video from you today... I figured maybe Sunday, great surprise! The two of you are doing great, I know you are going to love spending time in your own room! Keep the videos coming, Jason, I love watching them!!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy it.

[@JiffyBiff]

I recently bought a Bosch sausage gun. Tired of squeezing a trigger on a manual sausage gun for dispensing urethane adhesive, especially now in winter here in Canada. Now it's effortless.

[@robinharrison3907]

Great Teamwork with Ray helping out 👍👍This build is really coming on Bud 👍👍Looks so solid keep them coming 👍👍🥳🥳

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks 👍

[@frankd6142]

Good episode Jay. Thanks for sharing.

[@johnscott2076]

That hook hanging down from the bottom of the tripod is to hang a heavy weight from to hold it from blowing over

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Genius!! Should use that!

[@rondean3775]

After watching every perkins bro and Jay's videos I've come to the conclusion that Jay is the king of "Winging it" 😅

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yep!!

[@MikeCheckBiloxi]

What a massive undertaking. Holy crap Jay this is gonna be awesome!

[@theredrover3217]

Glad to see you mentioned disconnected the battery or a plug to mess with a skill saw. Real PTIA I know it seems at the time but I always remember injuries I have dealt with in traumaCare. Got to have respect for tools and equipment that in a heartbeat can really ruin one's day.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Safety first! Glad you noticed that.

[@J4raz]

Love those timelapses of standing the walls :D

[@milesharlan1]

Hey Jay! Quote of the video by RAY "WE new exactly what we were doing!! Lots of enjoyment from your video!! KUTGW

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks, I think Ray’s quote was a classic!! 😂

[@WalterMizelle]

Coming along. Looks great

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks! It's been a lot of work.

[@funkyjohnhuie]

9:24 looks like you're in a sticky situation😂

[@jpnguyen11]

You already have Erik's nail gun, might as well get Jaime's scaffolding as well.

[@ArnolddeLeon]

I think he also has Jaime's nail gun

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That’s a good idea! Lol

[@brycehoch2963]

Hey Jay! A few things that could help with GoPro shots (if you are using a gopro). I've noticed it's very distorted (because duh, gopro). If I remember, there some way in editing software (not sure if it is gopro or not) but it allows you undistort it, and make it look flat (like a phone camera). Additionally, (although having an old gopro) I believe you can change how severe/the field of view of the camera. I believe mine has narrow, medium and wide; Depending on those, it will make it much less, to much more distorted. You could play around with each setting and see how it looks and still ensure that all of what you want is still in the shot! Additionally, if there is someway you reach out, I would love to edit that image at 1:13 so that everything but you and your wife is blurred!

[@deborahsimmons2414]

OMG! This is absolutely going to be “the” legendary deck…FOR SO MANY REASONS DUDE!!!! I don’t even want to name ALL the reasons, (for so MANY reasons😔). Okay back to the project…

[@albertorozco5981]

Great progress 👍 looks great guys.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

It's starting to come together, isn't it?

[@patrickrussell1888]

Most of the homesteaders qualified for 160 ac, if I recall.Thats a lot of land. 5,000 sf suburban property is a lot to keep up. And you had to enclose your livestock. If you got there early, you would have the best lands and likely water and wood. But you had to deal with men. You would have had to have a strong soul and psych. It would have been lonely!😊 As kids, we grew up on 40 acres but didn't really farm it. About 7 acres was a dg "barrrow pit," decomposed granite, and for local construction projects. Cool heavy equipment carved out the resource. Our water was a dependable spring. We had the High Sierras as our backyard playground.

[@ingridstephanie5975]

It's getting shape looks good keep up the good work

[@TheGreatRandom]

Perkins-way 😂 I’ve never seen so many nails go in. Makes me wonder if they are going for a world record on Brock’s house or if I don’t put enough nails when I build. 😂

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Go big or go home

[@TheGreatRandom]

Jay, love your videos. I know you aren’t making Jack (yet) from KZbin but a $100 wireless mic would make your videos SO MUCH better. DJI has a set so you can mic you and Ray. ❤ Much love brother!!

[@JohnBlaze-tn7my]

Looks good man . Dig the channel defiantly entertaing

[@tii2015]

19:13 You have the exact same ring tone I have! I heard it & immediately looked at my phone & thought, WTF...?

“Shhhhi-stuff” 😂😂

[@beetleclemens3727]

Awesome work

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@scottturner4965]

You need to install angle bracing on each of the posts to stop the deck from swaying.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

It’s all tied back into the existing deck, which is tied to the house so I think I’ll be all right. If it gets to be a problem I may add some down the road.

[@adb1950]

Jay has 3.5 inches to play with! LOL Great pick up by Ray

[@StevieBzz]

Great job guys. Your house looks amazing and this will make it incredibly. Much respect from across the waves Tenerife Canary Islands.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks Stevie!!

[@randybourdon2791]

Like the new intro Jay!

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Wish I had 3.5" to work with. Snapped the first six inches off every ruler in the house so the wife thinks it's nine inches.

[@alex3mirillas]

Twas quick

[@femto55]

Buy a metric one and say it's inches

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

@ You may be a genius!

[@mikemoore3212]

Under promise, over deliver my guy… haha

[@brianwilliams6758]

You could drive nails in from the inside. Then, when you lift it, the wall stays on the line and the inside nails will pop out of the flooring. Easy to remove with a cats paw once the wall is secured.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

I like that idea!

[@MadWilly66]

'borrowed from the job' hahaha

[@nathanlongworth4410]

Enchiladas? You better be giving Ray some steaks. lol. I got your back Ray

Ray loves enchiladas!

[@BarBeeHoney]

You did a great job on that commercial! I usually hate commercials.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Thanks!

[@justinfuller7005]

Hey Jay. You can build a wall kicker system on the outside of your walls. Just a thought for that.

[@justinfuller7005]

And put a wallboard on it.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Wait till you check out the new video!! Lol

[@justinfuller7005]

@ sweet brotha. I enjoy watching all of your videos and Perkins as well

Borrowed from job. Not sure If I would be saying that. But I do appreciate your honesty. Look out for the Brothers wanting revenue share.

Looking good question why did you not put windows on that first wall you put up that would make a nice view to your backyard just asking. Love seeing Jones out with you helping 👊🏼👍

[@Building_Jays_Way]

That back wall is going to be mainly a propane fireplace with a big TV above it for watching movies and football. Gonna do some floating shelves on one side and probably put a mini split on the other.

Wait a minute you are using the big box rendition of saw horses!!!??? You didn’t even try to build your own…oh, my, Jaime, look away….LOOK AWAY..right now! Okay, so tell me/us, why again you are making a majorly gigantic expansion of your outside deck again??? Holy cow! HUGE upgrade, and that’s fine, but where are you going with this? I am guessing I must have missed an earlier version of “what’s the plan”!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Watch episode one. Thanks.

Jay you and Ray are persistent. HAPPY HOLLIDAYS

[@GingerBreadJuJu]

3.5" of play huh? lmaooooo @1:50

[@Robscott-bx1oi]

What is that on your truck? That allows you to get 8ft boards in the bed of your truck!

[@S_Waltz]

Only 3 1/2” 🤦‍♀️🤦 Blew Chew could be a potential sponsor. 🗡️⚔️ Lol your out of wood @4:29 Your never short of laughs 😂😂😂 👍👍👍

[@-BlackBird7]

Why cant you sheet the bottom of the wall with with windows? This way it keeps everything squared up, is much lighter, and makes it easier to lift and through up the next sheet from the ladders? Love you guys cheers from Tx 🍻

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes. We could have.

[@mrsdig57]

Jay, Bless your heart! 😂😂

[@robertmungenast6339]

Remember safety first all the time

[@marshallboyd3654]

You can also put some ply wood on the walls you have windows on. Just leave the pieces off that have to lap the corners

[@99lebwel]

Looks really good man. Also, 3.5" of what? lmfao

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Little wifey…hey ho at 1:14! I am with ya! Looking younger 👍

[@Kenny-8327]

Marital has a box that cools and heats that you can use to heat your caulk

[@Building_Jays_Way]

👍🏻

[@marshallboyd3654]

We also lap our plywood all the way down to the bottom of your girder to tie in the wall to the floor framing

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes we lap the plywood down as far as we could before. It was going to hit the deck joists. It tied in the base structure to the walls.

[@JesusRisen8]

I love the water drop inspiried music

[@oneaboveall1895]

Nice thanks for the upload you do a great job on Perkins Bros channel

[@dennisoestermann1880]

What does your wife say, when you are 3,5 inches short? :P But it looks great. And remember you have all winter to do it :P

[@EdHibbard-y7k]

Jay, what are you building? At 1st, I thought it was a deck extension, and now I'm lost.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Have to watch the 1st episode.

[@mitchellbliss3828]

It's never made a ton of sense to me that code requires a certain length nail for certain applications, even though the nail may be twice the length of the material, or shoot through like 1.5"

[@beeeef]

Nice cold start and short intro sir.

[@jenibond]

OMG ! Get battery tube gun there life changing if you use more than odd tube of lexel ! They are not cheap but perkins boys have sponshihip lol !!!

I’ll have to look into that!

Love the channel and the content Jay, but do us a favor and buy a mic for recording, the fluctuations in volume are insane bro.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Noted!

[@chuckHart70]

Building J's way is kind of just having a plan and then improvising that's really how it's done wood is not even or straight or perfect

[@bozidarsrbija]

I got 3,5 for you, baby.😂😂😂

[@mitchellchambers4852]

You need Arlo. Really, really need Arlo.

[@crimsonwoodworking9609]

Did Ray ever finish his kitchen?

[@danieltuma8604]

Darn it Jason, I wanted to see you struggle putting the wall up...hahha don't let it happen again okay

[@DR52783]

I know! Me too! I was filming my husband remove a bay window that was so rotted out. As soon as he was taking it out my daughter texted me. I looked down at the text and missed the window being removed. I got in a bit of trouble that day!

[@gav_bray]

Awesome work fellas. Just wondering about the Ply wood lapping 2 inches. Would it be better to lap all the way down for extra strength? I assuming its because you dont want siding going to the bottom of the deck...

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yes, absolutely

[@JohnStoneNC]

You should hire some carpenters to build that for you!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Ha ha!!!

[@iTeerRex]

How cool is that, the job site is literally in the backyard. Lol

[@chrisruffino5168]

3 1/2".... well I guess I would brag about it myself.

[@justinmanship5431]

I wouldn’t plane those floors too early. Even if they swell they’ll lay back down a lot when it gets dry. Nothing you don’t already know. I’ve just made that mistake and the. You end up with a low spot.

[@Building_Jays_Way]

You're right, thanks for the tip!

[@scratchNmatcheZ]

Wait... What wood are we talkin about? 😆lmao

[@v1rotate187]

Just curious, is it okay for that inside wall to land strictly on the blocking only? Won’t the load transfer from the wall, to the blocking, and then into the horizontal nails only? New joist would be stronger? Cheers man nice build!

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Yeah, I thought about that but it’s only a couple inches past the Joyce and with the two by fours running across it and the sheathing holding altogether. I believe it will be OK. If it seems down the road, it’s going to sag. I will put some more blocking in between. Thanks for watching

[@CASHCRZZY1]

You guys should use some flashing tape on top of the joists and then up and over on top of your deck that your exercise room is on so the water can’t wake up from the joists to your exercise room. Does that make sense? Maybe what I should say, you guys should be putting a flashingon the deck to living room area

[@Building_Jays_Way]

Might think about it. Kinda expensive.

[@CASHCRZZY1]

@ Don’t you think it would be better to spend a little now, than have to tear down that room later because water got under floor and rotted it ? Love what you are doing btw great job in between building houses

[@chaddaley739]

Square a wall with the plywood
