DIY Deck Building Tips and Trade Secrets | 1880s Farm House EP12
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2021
- Our farm house needed a serious deck overhaul. With lumber prices soaring to heights never-before-seen we had to get creative. The secret to saving a lot of money building decks... well actually two secrets, during Covid is 1) SAVING THE STRUCTURE and 2) Doing it Yourself ! Even a very old deck may be old and rotten but more often than not the structure can be saved... and that's exactly what we did. But if you're building a deck there are more secrets and tools out there you probably didn't know existed. We're going to show you all our hacks, tips and tricks to fix your deck. But the deck isn't the only project. We have a 800 square foot stone patio going in... only thing is, the plan has changed. Yes, I broke my main rule and changed the plan mid project. But don't worry this is going to be much sexier!

Jeff's safety advice is common sense and it works for him, I appreciate. I.e. don't use safety glasses when the risk is acceptable and especially if it actually obscures the view of what you need to actually pay attention to. However, have you ever seen Jeff ignore a beam of removed wood with nails sticking out, or skimping on structural safety? No, never! Keep it up Jeff, big fan of the channel, great work Max too 👍🏼
Love your content. You and Michelle are just so adorable together. Your neighbor is quite the helper. Great young man.
Cheers Brenda!
Your wife seems like such a sweetheart! I love watching you and your family work together!
I love how you and your wife are working together to put the cement and tiles down :) so cute!
Jeff you're quite the character. Your outlook on life is impeccable 💪
He's indeed a character, Jeff knows how to have fun while doing what we loves.
42:15 Matt: "I don't even know why I'm here". I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Thank you.
Cheers Steven!
In his never ending search for subs and likes our man discovers shock jock tactics for home reno vids. Production first, Safety second. Peering out from beneath his eye patch our hero rises to another day
I invested in an Estwing Hammertooth because of you Jeff!
He's had that thing since day 1 of filming back over a decade ago. Great tool it's like a little superstar at this point. How do you like the hammer?
I look out for it in all his vids 😂
I actually haven't used it yet, don't want to get any paint chips haha I know it's going to be awesome though.
Will get back to you when i finally do
another awsome job done! I enjoy your videos so much,keep up the good work and stay safe everybody! Can't wait for the next one!
Glad you love the show, new episodes every 2 weeks. Thanks for commenting we appreciate the support.
Of all the safety later, Jeff jokes about. Seriously, the only one I would say don't skimp on is the safety glasses.
And dust masks and disposable glove while driving alone😷
You get 2 chances! (The left eye and the right eye)
you should make a video about it, it would be so interesting
Love those tools, amazing , good team work, im learning and hopefully apply to my garage renov. Thanks
so many new tools!! thanks for a great video!!
Nice Caber toss at 6:36 Max
This was fun to watch!
Cheers!
Your intro makes me smile every time 😊
That camp tool though! 😯 😍
Lots of cool tools on this one.
I love your new intro! It's like a movie and the announcer's deep voice.Lol. I'm loving it.
muy pero muy buenos sus vídeos. muchas bendiciones por enseñarnos nuevos procedimiento. Para construir. un Saludo desde este extremo del mundo. Chile Séptima Región.
Looking at the cord a cordless skilsaw might be good investment 😅
Hi and you make my day jeff
Thanks Tammy, Jeff appreciates the support. Enjoy the show
Safety second, Production First.....lol. You're a funny guy.
Holy crap. Max got big!
Jeff where's the rectified porcelain tiles from? Can I get it from home depot or Lowe's in Toronto?
You should link the tools in the description...with as many subscribers as you have, if you reach out to the company, you can probably get a promotional discount for you and maybe you subscribers too. Its not gonna happen always, but any free tools that are worth a flip, are always welcome. The camo screw gun extension is obvious but what's the deckboard clamping tool for closing the spacing up? I just saw the camo company shout out...lol spoke too soon
Amazing video as always Jeff! Really helped me in my projects. One thing that I would have liked to have explained a bit more in detail is how you level things. I watch all your videos and it seems this is something "taken for granted", you just go ahead and fix it or the video is cut right when you are leveling. But I'd say it's definitely not trivial for us noobs :) For example the post at around 12:20. I ran into the exact same problem putting posts on my deck and it was really a nightmare to level it! It would have been great to know tips and tricks in this regard from you. I can see you fiddle with the impact driver but not entirely clear as a noob how exactly you do that. Similar thing at 21:43, you realize the rail is not leveled "oops!" and then magically it's fixed. I'd love to know how you did it!
TLDR: I think it would be nice to add a video about "how to use your level" to your "how to use your tools" series covering for example:
* How to use a level?
* Why is the bubble smaller than the markers, so it's always harder than it should to have it dead centered?
* How much of an error do we make if we don't have the bubble dead centered?
* How to install something (e.g. a post) leveled from scratch?
* You have installed something (e.g. a post) and after the fact you measure and realize it's not leveled. How do you fix it? Can you re-use the same screw holes for tilting it ever so slightly, or do you need to use completely new holes?
Thanks!!
Pro Tip , when using a Chalk Line on decking etc that will remain visible, Do Not use RED colored chalk . You will never get it completely off . You only have 2- eyes, protect them :)
I'm 60 but I want Jeff to adopt me, if only for access to the tools
Hi, Just wondering why your used wood and not engineered products like Trex decking for the porch? I would think it would be less maintenance.
Jeff, I'm not sure if it's true or not in Canada, bc I know things can be different. But have you found that the red chalklines stain? I have found that to be the case here. The blue seems to clean up so much easier.
Will the porcelain be slick during the winter with snow and ice on it?
not at all. it was actually amazing to have this last winter. Cheers!
My parents live in the UP and theirs isn't slippery.
Awesome projects. What is the name of the song 33:00?
Loved that song at 5:18. Can't figure out "who" it reminds me of.
Haha! The royalty free website we use certainly pushes the envelope pretty far with some of the songs. You can always tell WHO they are trying to mimic. Always fun sneaking these in. Almost every episode has at least one...
@@SubdivisionAuto what's more was having to 'tie my mother down' a little bit later in the video ... 👸
6:18 - I think Ontario Covid restrictions have finally gotten to Jeff!
I don't understand the "glueing" the tiles to the ground. Don't they just stick to the top aggregate, and are still free to move?
My thought too
once it is sealed it acts like a pedestal and does not move after. Cheers!
Interesting aerial view. Next thing, road gets widened and house has to be demolished.
6:19 "someday this project will end."
My wife the second Jeff shows off the Camo drill kit: "No, you're not buying one! I could hear your n***s tingle the as soon as he pulled that thing out..."
The only fighting that happens on this channel is between spouses on which project to tackle first and overspending on tools!
Wait! You have a second channel?!?
hell yeah safety second to hell with eyesight
FR. This dude is a smug moron.
Yeah, I hope he has his own workmans comp coverage, cuz otherwise he could own your house. You have to verify this.
you wear glasses while working on a deck, really???
@@Fattony6666 no of course not what kinda idiot cares about safety first. I’m with you to hell with eye protection.
@@Fattony6666 production first, safety second? Really??
That house is soo close to that road and intersection. Biggest fear is a car smashing into the home. Please make a solid brick/concrete wall that you see most corner houses have these days.
Jeff
Cedar or mahogany better for northern climate?
cedar. for sure!
@@REALITYRENOVISION just b/c of price point?
It looks like you put the tiles on loose gravel. I dont understand this part.
im telling you ...every time ive ever tried working with my guy, he ends up having to walk away for a breather. we DO NOT work well 2gthr AT ALL. so youre lucky Jeff... but im sure you already know that.
darn straight
Not just me with a covid belly.....
Great vids, great information and techniques - but I can see you aren’t a patient person
no reason to put that drip edge on over your ledger board if your just going to nail it to the house wrap and side over it, paper should lap over your drip and be taped to it or water will just run behind it and leak in around the nail holes rotting out your ledger.
Use electrical tape in place of a band-aid, and THAT is money in the bank.
He's been doing that for ages, even before the years we filmed
Turns out we've been using band-aids wrong the whole time 😱😱. Now I know how to use electrical tape.
Zero chance i would have put that down, unless it was on cement after, paying a lot for the products.
Safety first always wear safety glasses when doing DIY First lesson we teach to all our students.
I think she rather sticks to cooking!
Feel like I saw this video before
Yes and no. It was in the 3 hoyrvdeck a to z on other channel.
@@jamesmacintyre1415 Yeah the other channel has a step by step process. This channel is telling the story chronologically but also has a lot more unseen footage that doesnt belong in a how to.
@@SubdivisionAuto I'm aware that's what I was trying to say
@@jamesmacintyre1415 Thanks brother
Before watching this video I was 100% stupid, now I'm 10% smarter.
I'm glad you're not using cement. A lot of the materials needed to make cement are running out, and they're dredging the bottoms of the oceans for it
Couldn't have removed that annoying bush that looks like it's in the way ? 😕
Can you resurface my deck? Lol. I cant help but feel hesitant to get anyone else the way you speak of other jobs done by incompetent people.
Jeff is the busiest man ever these days. He can't resurface your deck but hopefully his videos can help you do it yourself! Anyone can do it
I thought that was a chick until you said “ buddy”
this is lame. what the heck are you doing trying to set a tile on dirt?
Dudes a liability to work on ur house
