DIY Covered Patio Part 2 | Total Cost | Final Finishes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 сен 2023
- In part two I’m finishing the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. In this video I complete the covered patio which will become the center point of all other projects I complete in the backyard.
To finish the awning the electrical was finished, posts wrapped in cedar, siding, fascia, and soffit installed as well as the ceiling covered in tongue and groove.

If you haven't seen it already you may want to check out part 1: ruclips.net/video/5nqZ00DW540/видео.html . 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.
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.
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!
We build porches very similar to this - you did an incredible job. To answer your question - we would charge $30k for this structure
Thanks and I appreciate the transparency, that price makes perfect sense and on a much shorter timeline haha
Holy bologna batman! Way to save some money and a beautiful job! 😎👍
@@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.
@@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.
12,000 not 1200@@csl9495
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.
well said Ralph. I felt as if I was watching a DIY show. Very well done.
Man that is a work of art lol. Seriously you did a damn good job
I'm not an electrician either, but a separate breaker for every outlet is beyond overkill 🤣 cool build overall
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
Edit the one on house is with the new lights and fan
Hope it all made sense
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.
@@ThatTechTeacher427 thanks for the clarification. I added 3 circuits to my house and that dang Romex is pricey!
The ceiling fan detail makes me unbelievably happy😂
Haha awesome to hear!
You did a wonderful job, and I really doubt a professional that does this for a living would have bested you. Really amazing.
Just watched both episodes all the way through! Great work and dedication to doing everything the right way!
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.
Thanks, I have to make sure I remind myself of that as well! Hopefully they watch the video lol
Exactly my thought!
where i live, you can count on electrical cables running vertically up from every outlet and switch
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!
I loved the way you broke down each phase of the project. It really makes me want to compete a project like this myself. Great job. It came out terrific. Very meticulous!
Amazing patio. All your back garden looks amazing and weather is so nice!!!
Absolutely beautiful structure! Thank you for sharing the process.
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!
Amazing job, you should feel so proud of what you have built!❤
Great work on construction and videography kudos to you and Dad!
Impressive build and massive attention to detail. Well done.
Excellent attention to detail!
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.
Very nice job bro-ham, beautiful cover over that patio. Now all you need to do is screen it in!
Been waiting a long time to see this finished. Looks great!!!
Thanks for the patience! Me too lol
Very well done, love your attention to the details.
Elegant solution in capping the ceiling fans at the peak!
Thanks!
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!🎉😊😊😊
Awesome project. I completely admire you pay attention to every details while putting in every piece. It takes a lot of thinking and planning obviously.
I’m looking forward to see more of your videos.
Thanks for sharing
Awesome build. Your narration is the best. Thanks!!
Thanks!
I love the fence around the pool. It’s a great safety addition
Thanks it was must with dogs and kid.
Great attention to detail.... Impressive DIY project for sure.... As you know it looks great..
Thanks!
Outstanding job.
Love your channel, i was just rewatching everything this weekend. Awesome job! i like how you describe every little detail and take precise measurements of everything. I wish there were more channels like yours. Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Excellent work! Way to be creative during this build 👏 👍🏽
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.
Wow, blown away by your perfectionist tendencies.
Appreciate it!
Very nice, you give me good ideas, thanks for showing it.
Absolutely beautiful 😎 Enjoy !
Awesome Job!
Incredible job, Ryan!
Thanks!
This looks great. The ceiling and beams are awesome. I want to do similar to the interior of my house one of these days. I want to do gray washed maple throughout the hallways and some key places on the walls for matching accent pieces.
Always stoked to see you upload! excited to see what's on the agenda for future projects!
Thanks I appreciate it. That sounds like it will look awesome, good luck!
very well documented series!
Amazing job for somwthing youve never dont b4. We build outdoor patios and last week we did a 15x35 including the concrete slab for 25k
Really impressive project
Thanks!
Great Job, Great Video, Thank you for sharing.
Great Job brother!
Very nice, good job. I loved it.
Looks Great!!!
Absolutely Beautiful.
Outstanding job on this. Great attention to detail.
Thanks!
This gave me an ideal of what my roof should cost. My porch is 10' x 28'. Thank you for the info!
Once again, great content and dialogue along with my OCD flair!
I’ve been waiting for this video!!
I appreciate the patience lol
This is a how-to-make-a great-video ! 🎉
Nice work looks good
Once again a great video ❤️
Thank you!
Damn good job, looks real nice!
Really nice job. Watched both parts start to finish. Very impressed with your ability to stay focused. I could see myself starting something like this and then getting very discouraged half way through.
Yes. Glad to I'm not the only one! Lol
Thanks, some days were better than others lol
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!
Thanks! I think that is the way to go, the TV is kinda disposable and you dont feel as bad about replacing them.
My wife helped me put up 16’ t&g premium redwood under our balcony. I used a dot of construction adhesive and crown staples through the tongue and wrapped the edges in a crown molding. Sitting out there bring immense satisfaction. I’m sure you will have the same experience… something about doing it yourself 🎉🎉🎉
Your work for P1 & P2 your roofed-in patio was excellent. Because you took your time, I would hire you.
In Pittsburg,
Vince.
Awesome. Thank you so very much for the ides.
Very nice thinking about doing this to my back yard.
I don't regret doing ours
Ryan this is killer!!!! Awesome skills
Thanks!
Go Bulldogs 😂
Excellent job, well done.
Appreciate it!
You can be proud brother nice work I'm from south africa and we don't build normal with ceader of wood but I want to do this you teach me a lot thank you
Insanely nice, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
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!
I love the hammer 12:38 lol - CLASSIC!
multilevel decks are very good for additions for this type of covered patio try drawing out several design patterns then decide which one you like the best.
Thanks!
Very impressive 🤙
Looks great thanks for the video.
At the peaks edge thought about putting flood light aiming to pool and rest of backyard?
Looks great.
Thanks! Thats a good idea!
I see your original video was a year ago, but just wanted to mention, there are spot lights on Amazon that are flat and simply clip into sheetrock, rather than requiring the can. They are indoor/outdoor - great for tight places where light is needed and a can won't fit. Love the patio, wondered where you got the trusses?
Nice Build!!!
Thanks!
Looking to do this and save money.
Just not sure I'm comfortable/able to do the house tie ins
But would love this result
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.
Thanks, you make a good point. Hopefully the next owners watch the video...
great job
Thanks!
Great Great job.
Thanks!
Amazing video mate! IMO It will add $30,000 value to your home with the right home stagging!
Thanks, I hope so lol!
In CT at least labor and material would be 30 to 35k. Great video.
Thanks for the info!
Awesome job. I had to follow this project with both videos. Thank you for explaining your methodology with each decision point. It provided some rationale for each. One question was, why not coat the pine T&G before nailing it to the ceiling? It seems it would have been easier than working at that height.
It would have been way easier to pre finish the T&G but with the amount of time each day I had to work on it and the fact the first shipment of boards I got had some really bad ones in it and I didn't know how the 2nd was going to look I picked to do it this way but you are correct
The canlights are freaking gigantic 😅
Nice build, don't know if I like the different angle on the fascia..
Yes they are, thanks and I can understand that
Great work. I am doing something similar and am debating if I need vented soffits to allow airflow in. I have a ridge vent like yours for air to get out. I noticed you did solid soffits, any thoughts on if they should have been vented? Thanks!
LETS GO NEW VIDEO
Also First
I appreciate the hustle on the first comment!
What cad or design program do you use or like? Amazing end product, so congrats!
nice job
Appreciate it!
W video, keep it up.
Thanks, I will try
You did a wonderful job! I'm having a roof put over my recently installed porch and I wanted to know how much it would cost me!
An excellent build. One question: why didn't you totally enclose the first truss against the house? It would have kept wind driven rain out of the covered patio, and you could have screened in the patio in the future.
The vertical wiring coming out of receptacles is to code without being encased in a conduit of some kind?
you need to build an awesome grill station with countertop space. Also the unlevel pool gate is really bothering me!!! hahahaha 🤣
Agreed to both!
Thanks for the latest video, great work and looking forward to your next video.
Thanks!
Your tongue & and groove boards will get plenty of moisture from the air and a hard driving rain pushed by wind will get some of those boards wet. So sealing them is absolutely necessary.
Not a huge fan of how it connects and juts out from the house, but overall this thing is AWESOME! Great job!
Thanks! I was worried it was going to look weird on camera but in person it is my favorite part. Lol
I did watch both of the videos, I a very handy 64 yo guy much like yourself,enjoyed the video very much, I consider myself to be a standout in so many ways, electrical contractor by trade but able to so many crafts. I’m going to make a guess you are dyslexic?
Your workmanship ,Attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none, I saw myself in every consideration and move you made, was a true pleasure, and when you came to pricing the job out for the viewers you where probably correct with 3to 4 times the cost using a contractor, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CASE WAS NOT THE COST SAVINGS BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN FINISH QUALITY OF THE AMAZING PRODUCT! Great job my friend 😎
One tip when installing the tongue and groove boards.. Take a off cut piece of the tongue and groove (maybe 6" long) so that you can put that over the tongue of the board you're installing. This way when you hammer it into place, you're hitting a scrap piece and not the tongue of a piece you are installing and possibly damaging the tongue
I also recommend pre-finishing those boards. MUCH easier on the ground than in the air AND you seal all the edges and the back that you won't be able to do with it installed
Thanks and I agree with both! After breaking like 5 of the scrap piece while pounding them in I gave up on them but they do work great.
Instead of an expensive outdoor TV, they now have some of these laser projector TVs that can be setup for an outdoor movie theater experience 😮🤓
Thats not a bad idea
@@ThatTechTeacher427 They are called Short Throw Projector.
Small enough you can bring it outside as needed for backyard movie night 📽️
Wood work and framing looks beautiful. But I think that cable on the post could be a hazard. Someone can nail something to it. Probably if the vertical notches on the post overlay had metal in it it prevent from screws and nails to pierce it preventing any damage to cable
What material do you print those ceiling fan covers out of? Concerned about it getting too hot and deforming in the summer?
ABS Plastic. It has a higher melting temp than some other plastics but I guess time will tell. I'll let you guys know if I have any problems. Might even have cracking issues in the winter idk.
Should have stained the whole boards cause moisture will make its way behind them. Love your videos. Wish you made more.
Thanks you make a good point and would have made them easier to install
When you do trusses do you need any kind of ridge beam? Is the only things keeping them upright the hurricane ties?
Trusses need no ridge beam, I have a 2x4 inside the trusses at the top that holds them correctly spaced. The plywood for the roof, tongue and groove really hold them together. Then all the trusses are nailed to the beams and hurricane strapped on as well.
Those materials prices are insane whose your lumber plug?
Central East Coast GC, that would run appx $33,000. My city runs 20% above the national average for cost of living which is ridiculous but it does effect pricing.
