Hey, you should give Jonno and Ray a bonus for putting up with your and Jason bromance!

[@AdaMakawee]

Stay safe. My son was an iron-worker (I say was because he is now an engineer for the railroad). One day he was working about 40' up, there was another floor, so 20' each. He put on the harness like he did every day and his safety guy checked it. BUT he didn't follow it all the way back to where it was anchored. My son had to lean out (his back was to the outside) to fix a bolt on the steel beam and the harness was not hooked to anything. His reaction was to grab a rope that was in front of him. He had his leather gloves on. Friction finally stopped him and he was swinging in and out. The rope swung in and he took the floor below him to his pelvis area. He was able to scoot on to this floor. The whole thing took seconds but felt like hours (he said). Anyhow, he was lucky. he did hurt his back but nothing was broken. SO double check that harness every time, this is a mom talking here! Measure twice and cut once may only result in a wasted board. This could have cost him his life from that distance. Love watching you guys. Carry on.

Composite decking definitely needs joists at 8-12" OC to stay flat, come across a lot of wavy composite decks on 16"OC

I love these guys. So detailed, every one of them. I'd like more & longer vids. I'd watch. I hate KZbin made people go shorter in time! I also realize it is lot more time & work putting the longer vids out! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

[@NeveRestless]

Be careful with those RFL’s (retractable fall limiter)!! If your harness connection point gets even a few inches above the anchor point, you dramatically increase the forces on your gear and your body if you fall. I have extensive experience in the climbing and challenge course (ropes courses, zip lines, etc) field, someplace where falls are a common occurrence. We typically use RFL’s a little differently but please please please don’t get any higher than your anchor with those things. Routine inspections and referring to the manufacturers guide lines on lifespan is also critical to the success of those devices.

[@williamberry9237]

[@marcdorey388]

I worked for a composite decking company and I’ve seen this before 🤓 most composite clips allow the boards some movement for expansion, which means that the boards won’t give much lateral grip. With your noggins so small compared to your joists means the joists can twist and move along the decking clips - if the noggins were wider then they retain more rigidity in the decking system. You have to rely on the noggins and not the decking planks like with a wooden deck to keep that system up and flat.

[@billinhouston3291]

[@Peter-dd3br]

When you're looking at paint or stain samples you should always do it under natural light, either outdoors or next to a big window, because cheap artificial lighting can distort your perception of color.

Entertaining as always. For purchasing boards like the tongue in groove, I always buy a bunch extra and then bring some back. It helps for when you get a defect that wasn’t noticed at the lumber yard too, since you can return that one.

[@arresthillary9502]

my composite deck is the same way for 10 years. next time you fellas are in the Charlotte area, come by and fix it for me!! 😉

[@internuts11]

An easier way to measure how many boards you need is to measure your distance from the house out when your boards are running parallel to the house wall and then divide that total number of inches by 5 and then multiply that by the width. That's how many linear feet you need

[@arresthillary9502]

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

The floor in the loft of my log home has the same tongue and groove 1.5 inch lumber and it spans 36 inches underneath.

[@LordSilmiINC]

the safety harness is very important. i once saw my contractor worker fell off the roof while try to screw in the frame. His head almost hit the rock at the bottom and i never see him coming to work again after that until the work done.

[@pjdambra]

Why are you surprised that the deck sagged with those composite deck boards? They were spanning 16” Joists. They should have been no wider than 12” OC.

[@CaptainRon13]

I hate to “pile on,” but, in my experience with engineered lumber, 16” on center max distance. Plus you have to block them together.

[@olafbigandglad]

The multiplier for a deck board [or roof board in this case] with a 5" exposure is 2.4 [which is 12/5], so for every sq ft of coverage, you need 2.4 linear ft of board. So for your "roughly" 500 square foot roof, you need 1200 linear feet of t&g, plus waste etc.

[@alanaipperspach4756]

In the military, that's called a "dump bag" or "dump pouch" and is used as temp storage for everything from water bottles to empty firearm magazines.

[@TheCabledawg1]

We had those on our climbing belts doing utility line work. They are called bolt bags.

[@greencutsguelphlandscaping7980]

To calculate how many boards you need measure your span in inches then divide by the thickness of the board. They made that very complicated for some reason

[@chriscook4130]

Your Pterodactyl sidebars, I’m still laughing. Great work guys.

[@jonnyb1898]

i build composite 12 oc now and i measure joist thickness and put the joist in according to size instead of planing so that way when the boards dry in theory there should no humps. Composite is good and looks nice but it’s hard to get dialed in.

[@martyhanks5977]

Hey Guys: Tech Question. Any chance did you catch if the joists that were down, were also the ones w/ the suspended framing and roofing weight? Meaning...did those "dips" coincide with the Under Roof framing and roof weight?? Thats a thought worth exploring as a future "Pro Tip" IF true

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Good question… We did think about that after we had taken all of the under decking roof down but didn’t double check on it so I’m not sure
