    There seems to be some kind of WhatsApp scam going on. I have not contacted anyone about winning anything. Please ignore the message if you get it!

      Many scams on mostly every channel when people comment. Whatsapp AND Telegram scams.
      Besides that, good video keep up the good work.

    Really enjoyed the video. Looks like you have "nailed" a lot of floor joist in your time. Can´t wait to see the finished product.
    While I was in Bible School (grad 1974) I worked a couple of years in construction. Really helped me out when we became Independent Baptist Missionaries to Brazil in 1975. Thanks for all your work -- brings back great memories!

    Nice build Wes. I like to put a simple square knot to hold my plug wires together, don't pull it tight, just put it together. That way when you pull the line to get another foot of cutting done the line don't pull apart...something that becomes very important when it is inconvenient to reconnect your extension cord to your saw, like when your cutting off your decking or if your on the roof and trimming ceiling joists. Great video thumbs up.

    Love watching you and your son. I have a suggestion or two. You did not have the ledgers or the joists bearing on anything. Everything is hanging from the nails. It would be smart to add some bolts through the posts. Galvanized bolts. Cutting notches in the posts would have been better. Having lived with things I built forty years ago, I speak from experience. Nails rust out in a few years.

    a pro tip for the future, most know of the 3-4-5 method, we use any given dimension multiplied by 1.313 you can use 3' 4' 5', any measurement (example 4' x 1.313 = 5.25 should be the measurement between points 4' both directions from corner, learn that trick working on bridge piers 20' below water level. love seeing a man using hammer n nails

    @1herbert100 2 года назад +1

    Hey Buddy, I read in the comments someone suggested you use screws or bolts to secure the flooring but there is a much simpler and cheaper way to strengthen your floor. Cut blocks and nail to each 4x4 underneath the leader rails and you will have a much stronger floor and you already have the wood to do it. And don't forget to get that hammer. Oh, and by the way, it looks lkie you are using to small of nail on the framing joists. You should be using a 16d for framing and a 12d for the flooring. Hope I don't upset you because I enjoy learning the things you show me also. God Bless

    You're 1 of few people who knkw how to run a hammer! Never choke up on a hammer, if you do the hammer is too long so cut off the handle. Also good to see you use nails, they hold better than screws.

  • @buddyreed2623
    @buddyreed2623 2 года назад +3

    Hi Wes. Have you ever hit a rock while using the auger and if so, did it hurt? If you could speak chicken, the chickens would tell you that they love a trapezoid coop because everyone makes them square. Your son is so funny; "It doesn't work for me," and the help you give him to succeed. My subfloors are on the diagonal as the house was built in 1925 and I got to see that when they replaced some of the hard wood flooring.
    Have good days.

    Hi Wes,
    If you use the pathogren theroy for you diagonals you can come out perfectly square without relying on diagonal measurement. If like me geometry was too long ago you can Google and just put in your dimensions and it will give you your diagonal for a square building. 👍

    Not trying to be a Nazi arm chair inspector here ...I have afew comments for what it's worth... but all in all it looks good... diagonal decking is not as good as parrelel decking in this case but not really harmful either... parallel decking on 15 centers is spanning 14 inches diagonal decking is spanning 19 inches so you get a slightly weaker floor... diagonal decking is used for shear but in this case you're post are in the ground providing the necessary shear ..it also creates more work and waste... like I said before though it really does look good what you have done so far
