DIY Covered Patio Part 2 | Total Cost | Final Finishes

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

If you haven't seen it already you may want to check out Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5_Ui2NmebxoapI and here is the patio furniture built for the space: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ3ViZeAhbuNgrM . Thanks for all the feedback I appreciate the kind words, suggestions and your thoughts. I will try to answer as many of them as I can in a future video.

[@rodsdiy9631]

Subtract the material cost from the cost of what it would be if a contractor did it. Divide by hours worked. That is the hourly rate you paid yourself in sweat equity. Money you can use for other projects or investments. You could also add the amount this would increase your home's value.

[@thecrippledhandyman]

You did an awesome job. What is your background. Did you ever work for a carpenter contractor? Glad to see homeowners take on these types of builds themselves and do everything correctly! Again nice job! You would think that a professional was hired to do this project. You must have some experience to take on this task. If you don't. Well done!

[@ralphievision]

Not only is this project completely awesome and inspiring, but this VIDEO is so well produced too! It is concise and well-narrated, the shots are high quality and clearly show the detail that's important to see, the drone work (assuming that's what it is) is beautiful, music is appropriate, and there is no superflous (or self-indulgent) content.

[@stevencastillo9690]

well said Ralph. I felt as if I was watching a DIY show. Very well done.

[@ayellowbeard]

Random internet stranger here who's dabbled a little as a professional carpenter. I found your video while trying to get ides on how I want to build a covered area similar to yours but smaller for my shop and you've done a fantastic job! Your planning and attention to detail is impeccable. I'm no electrician but have been through several inspections and I do want to say for the sake of safety (I think someone has already voiced this in the comments) but I want to emphasize that installing wire behind the post vernier without being either inside the post or shielded with EMT is unlikely to be code and IMHO dangerous. I know you said that you passed the electrical inspection but inspectors miss stuff often enough. The last thing is the junction boxes in the soffits, you might consider drilling a small hole in the face of the cover so that if any moisture does get in there that it has a way to get out. Anyway I enjoyed your video! Cheers!

[@jackww839]

The ceiling fan detail makes me unbelievably happy😂

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Haha awesome to hear!

Our neighbors recently had a patio put in - though slightly bigger - was 80k in upstate NY. Thank you for this video! Will be watching several more times before we do our own!

[@micheletlittle]

First off.... WOW just WOW... you have got to be soooo proud of yourself... because I'm so proud of you! This looks awesome! Great job young man!🎉😊😊😊

[@fredericrike5974]

Off hand, I think two men could put that up in a week- 80 man hours. Shop rates will vary, but here in Dallas a "handyman', working with your materials will run $50/ hour, plus, a full shop labor charge will be higher- $70 low to $125 high where I live. Eighty times a hundred is easy- $8,000 labor. Btw, few shops would touch it and warrant any of it if you do not buy the materials through them, which would add another 10%- 25% on the materials side. Fwiw, I retired just a few years ago. You've done a pretty good job of problem solving your way through this project. Even professionally designed ones have glitches and unforeseen trouble spots. Kudos- I'd nap under it anytime and feel safe with kids under it as well. Working with your codes and inspections people was a very wise thing to do; when I remodeled a family home, I still pulled an "owner's permit" and did all the inspections and still have all my green tags, as well as the two reds I got in trade areas I wasn't as hot with. Learned a lot more than I thought while I was at it- inspectors can and will tell you lots if you don't start out going negative with them. It's worth noting that this "homeowner project" was inspected and will have no negative impacts if reported during a real estate transaction.

[@kto_66]

Man I hope your family appreciates you for the work you do for them. Absolutely beautiful

[@LawnPusher]

Been waiting a long time to see this finished. Looks great!!!

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

[@ruscheoutdoors5382]

We build porches very similar to this - you did an incredible job. To answer your question - we would charge $30k for this structure

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Thanks and I appreciate the transparency, that price makes perfect sense and on a much shorter timeline haha

[@BillyJoeJimBob28]

Holy bologna batman! Way to save some money and a beautiful job! 😎👍

[@csl9495]

​@@ThatTechTeacher427 he paid $1200 in materials, but what would a contractor spend? Given they should already have all the tools and I was told contractors either shop at special material stores or get exclusive discounts with the big box stores.

[@fredericrike5974]

@@csl9495 Contractors also mark up all material they supply and put warrantee on. Yes, we do get better prices from some places- but they expect us to keep far higher dollars of business than a "loose hammer" walking in the door.

Yes. Glad to I'm not the only one! Lol

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Thanks, some days were better than others lol

[@maga5381]

The custom printed 3D ceiling fan piece takes this project to the next level. Quite impressive. If paying someone to build this, you'd need to multiply your costs by at least 2.5 or 3, and you'd end up with an inferior product. One critique...it is guaranteed that someone (maybe the next owner) will want to hang something on those posts, and they will be in for quite a surprise when they run a nail/screw into the wiring hiding just underneath the surface of that cedar.

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Thanks, I have to make sure I remind myself of that as well! Hopefully they watch the video lol

[@alrod25]

Exactly my thought!

[@zmajoslavomirdedamrazizovi4290]

where i live, you can count on electrical cables running vertically up from every outlet and switch

[@mattheisler3655]

Great job! I’m very interested in your outdoor TV and sound solution. In lieu of an all-weather TV, I just installed a $200 smart TV with a good cover and then all-weather speakers connected to my interior set up. Works really well. The thinking is, if the TV fails after a few years, no biggie, just replace with another newer TV. That was four years ago and still working great. Thanks for the great content. 💪🏻 I learn a lot!

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Thanks! I think that is the way to go, the TV is kinda disposable and you dont feel as bad about replacing them.

[@min2oly]

there's a trick u can still do with a mitered edge that works well with cedar... take the round metal groove at the head of the hammer and run it up and down the mitered edge, press gently to ur desired "radius" it will curve the edge and join them completely. add some fresh glue to any spread joints before doing this.

[@troychambliss784]

This is a how-to-make-a great-video ! 🎉

[@fjeinca]

Wow. Quite a project for a “DIYer”, and IMO you’re an exceptional example of how-to-doer for such a thing. Awesome, enviable job and final outcome! Great planning for this by keeping extra shingles from an earlier situation. Lemonade. 😉

[@jongolsteyn9680]

Great video, great job. Excellent work, it looks really good. Looks like it will be a nice place to hang out away from the sun.

[@Torbox1]

Looks great and your attention to detail is awesome. Kinda surprised you passed your electrical inspections though, since those wires are only like .5-.75 inches from the surface underneath those post sleeves and they don't have any sort of nail plate. Hope no one forgets and tries to hang something from the posts, middle of it would be the normal nail or screw position.

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Thanks, you make a good point. Hopefully the next owners watch the video...

[@frank5326]

Impressive build and massive attention to detail. Well done.

[@douglascampbell7006]

Very nice job bro-ham, beautiful cover over that patio. Now all you need to do is screen it in!

[@paulblais6796]

I really love this project! Great inspiration for a project I am planning. Thank you. I am an electrician and you I see you have one code violation with the plug in the soffit. You are not allowed to install GFCI above 6 1/2 feet above finished grade. But it's a pretty minor correction. You could solve it by installing a GFCI breaker in the panel and you would have covered all the plugs. Again, great job! One last thing... I absolutely love your solution for the peak Fan covers you made!

[@092174john]

Holy Smokes! And I thought I had OCD... ha! J/K . It's so nice to come across this quality build after searching through dozens of hack job homeowner builds.. you could run a high end construction company with your work ethic and and over the top attention to detail. Liked and subscribed...

[@jasonhilliard4054]

Very well done, love your attention to the details.

[@walnut_trail_farm]

Excellent attention to detail!

[@dadlife8289]

I'm not an electrician either, but a separate breaker for every outlet is beyond overkill 🤣 cool build overall

[@jayrose9463]

I think what he meant was the outlets and the outlet already on the house are collectively on a separate breaker as in all on one. And a separate breaker for all the lights...one breaker So two breakers in total

[@jayrose9463]

Edit the one on house is with the new lights and fan Hope it all made sense

[@ThatTechTeacher427]

Ya I didnt say that very well. One breaker for outlets on the posts and another for the lights, fans, and outlet on the house for a total of 2.

[@Outre78]

This looks really nice, but one thing that I would be highly concerned with is the way that you embedded the electrical wire inside the post. Not only was that a bad idea it was probably against code. You have concealed wire with nothing to protect it from nails… you might know it’s there, but what’s gonna happen when somebody decides to hang something on one of them posts and drives a nail right through one of the wires. You should’ve put the wire inside of conduit and then built the post façade over that.

[@toneystevens5023]

Good work. The only thing I would have added is speakers in the ceiling. Also When you cut treated lumber, you should use a treatment on the cut ends. The way you did it is fine as long as you put the cut ends on the top out of the weather and it looks like you have. Other than that I would have not hidden the wire behind the cedar. It's a risk that someone could drive a nail into it. Might be better to come up from below and tucked the wire under the slab. Sealtite conduit would be my preferred method from underground. but.......Very nice job! Really!
