For perfect end cuts we always snapped a line and laid a straight board down to run the saw along as a guide. Even your dog could make that cut. Great video young lady!
I was very pleased to see you wearing respiratory protection while cutting treated lumber. Gloves are important too because slivers from that stuff can be wicked! Enjoyed your video.
Bloody hell April, I was thinking "Oh that's a nice deck" and then you showed the sketchup plan and wowed me quite a bit. It's looking great and it's going to be amazing!
It is so satisfying to see that thrown together so well. The unprofessional, rude construction around me is going slow for them and all I see is possibilities for a permaculture paradise with homesteading communal type living where everyone works well as a team with big projects.
Well, you know what they say... Design from the roof down, build from the ground up. Fantastic build!!! It has been my dream to run an outdoor kitchen on my property. So much nicer to be outside in the heart of nature, than cooped up indoors.
I have never heard that word before. I looked it up. I can’t process any of the definitions or understand how the word fits at all into her skill or this video. If this were survivor, I’d vote you off.
Hello April,I love all your videos.You are way better than I with your building.I work at the local county forest preserve.Chain saws are my skills.I noticed you using a chain saw at beginning.WOW April I'm afraid for you.If you have never seen a chain saw accident you don't want to.PLEASE,PLEASE If you don't use eye,ear and hand protection at least wear chain saw chaps.This is coming from a professional with chain saws.Chain saw accidents are horrible and hit fast.Also your teaching your viewers it's ok not to use chaps.I just love watching your videos and don't want you injured..thank you for your videos April.
When I did mine, I back cut the 'end grain' of the composite decking slightly so you don't see the ugliness of it against the 'bread board' edge. It is a bit more work but makes a difference. Nice job - love your outdoor space!
You can also use a simple jig consisting of a 2xwhatever joist and a wider-longer cap stick nailed on to set the joist hangers. That is faster yet leaves you with usually zero joist end leveling... great project so far. Looking forward to the rest!
April, I enjoy watching this MASSIVE build daily on Instagram. However, I still did enjoy watching it again altogether on RUclips. While the deck looks like a huge dance floor now. I can't help but think of all the great meals and times you will share with others in this special space. Awesome Job April and Crew!!!! I'm looking forward to more great videos from Justin on this build later this month!
I just clamp a board across the top of the rim joists so it overhangs and I use it as a stop that I push the joists up into. Then everything is perfectly flat unless you have warped lumber.
Trex is a great material, we used the hidden fastener system when we redid the deck on my vacation rental home in Florida. My heart ached a bit when I saw all the tags left on the end of the boards in the last section, and then ends without tags being final trimmed... but that will still be a very nice outside kitchen.
Nobody can ever accuse you of being lazy, U R NOT . I noticed that lil blond canine in the beginning just sitting in the middle of all the action Supervising, What a lil doll. She made her last appearance at the end as well.. Great job & video!!
I’d take the roof overhang 2-4 feet past edge of deck, especially around those bar stools/chairs. Will help with shading, and rain later on, imo. Nice looking deck and good choice of materials since a shortage😉👍🏻
Wow April I joke a lot on your page since I found it a few months ago but I must say, you have come a long way. If I’m not mistaken you said on a video about 5-6 yrs ago that you had no real training and now look at you! Great job, I hope to be like you in a few years ma’am 👍🏽👍🏽
@@AprilWilkerson Thank YOU for taking the time to share such amazing content with us. Your tree deck came out great & I couldn’t agree more, framing is so under appreciated.
April. Thanks to my being a fan of Tim (We share a middle name) you got me subscribed some time ago. A detail you pointed out had me thinking. At one time arsenic trioxide was used in treating boards. In double checking this Wilipedia confirmed this but didn't mention what was used now. However if my memory hasn't gone to the compost pile I'm real sure I heard and read that they're using copper compounds now necessitating different screws. Or in your case nails as galvanized (zinc coated) reacts to copper the same way galvanized pipe reacts more certainly with copper pipes making dielectric unions needed for hooking up water heaters for instance. 3/4 inch galvanized nipple to copper=no bueno. Did they change something and not tell me about it or did I get compost for a source at some point? Oh, Great job. 😉You caught me listening .👍
I know this is a weird compliment but my dad and I don't really have much to talk about as I haven't had a relationship with him in a decade. When ever I'm alone with him I end up talking to him about your videos because we're both fans. You help bridge a gap :)
Very impressive design and workmanship. And your good planning results in minimal waste and that translates into saving money. My only criticism would be the depth of the footing for the 4 vertical posts. Are they deep enough to support the roof? I would think they need to be at least 4 foot in the ground.
April, my wife and I have been looking for this exact setup for our outdoor live space! Are you willing to share your design plans? We are looking to buy property in FL and plan on spending most of our time outside to make up for all the ND winters cooped up inside! Thanks and FANTASTIC outdoor kitchen!!
April, I've also been looking for plans for a DIY hip-roof building that's similar in size to this one you made. Please consider selling the plans... I'd buy them immediately!!! 😀
Thanks this is such a valuable "how to". I want to build a screen porch, with a roof, on top of a large deck. Looking forward to the next installment of the project!
You should try bucket mortar mix you can mix concrete in seconds. Look at it on RUclips I use it to mix deck mud for floors and walls. Keep up good work 👍
I love that you two are sharing a pair of knee pads when you’re doing the decking. I saw you using them on Instagram and picked up a pair. I really like them!
Pleased someone else spotted that, they look a good knee protector, turns out my local Bunnings stocks them i'll have to call in and grab a pair and see if they live up to their rep
Like... I'm so used to you building these amazing things, and am always amazed with what you build. However, today the most impressive thing I saw in your video is that the biscuit tube didn't surprise you when it popped... I am now convinced that you're some sort of super hero
When dropping a tree don't turn your back to it until all movement has stopped. I watched a tree fall away from me, turned to put the saw on the backhoe platform and got smacked in the head with the force of a baseball bat. The falling tree stripped some branches on a nearby tree and sent one of them towards me.
helmet and goggles too. Huge amounts of energy are being released in unpredictable ways! "but it's only one tree" well, you have only one head and two eyes!
if its big enough to worry you shouldn't be cutting it down the whole way anyways, put some wedges in there and tip it over slowly. It's way more quiet so you can hear things, and the second it goes you should step back a few yards in case of a barber chair anyways. Most of the time it's easier I find to pull a tree over unless it's massive, that way your root group is exposed and you can remove the whole stump that much easier. They call the falling limbs from nearby trees widow makers but I'm pretty sure more people die to barber chairs each year so stay alert.
@@chomp7927 In my case I had the backhoe pushing it away from me. No need for wedges or ropes. Most of the trees I dug around the base and pushed over. Lifted the lower section and cut off a very small and flat stump.
We have a lack of wood in Germany right now, because most of the German wood is moving to the US and also China. You ask why….because it is just more cheap then the wood from your ground. It is unbelievable. And because of that the prices are exploding.
We can thank China, CV-19, and the US government for all this. As long as these morons continue to stay in office, they have us by the gonads. And they know it.
Did I miss the part on how you secured the deck joists to the piers and pads? Texas may not be prone to earthquakes, but don't you have occasional wind events like tornados, hurricanes, and microbursts?
That’s what I’m concerned about. Looks like it’s sitting directly on the pads and piers. There are several Simpson connectors that would have been appropriate. I also thought it was odd to use concrete posts instead of 6x or even 8x posts. Wonder if they have rebar in them.
Hey it's never too late! I didn't pick up my first tool until I was 25 then I just started figuring things out on my own through trial and error. I never used tools as a kid
I purposely inflict shame in my life when I click on your videos. Lol. You push me to do more and you always make it so easy to understand your path. Sketchup doesn’t hurt either. 😉
I’m always amazed that you southerners can work in and prefer that heat and humidity. I’ll take gloves and fleece lined pants over 100 degrees any day.
Another trick to cutting multiple boards is to stack all boards and line all your boards up and make sure your saw depth is set so you make a slight kerf in board below and then use the kerf as your line. Saves a few mins.
Hi April. Great timing on your project as I am looking into building an outdoor kitchen as well. Just wondering if you needed to pull permits for your kitchen. If so, could you please explain the process in a video? Thank you.
It's nice to see you doing projects like this. Did you ever put a railing on the tree house deck? How's your wood shed business going? I hope it's doing well. Thanks again for making these videos. They are both informative and entertaining.
That project looks a lot better than a "kitchen". More like a lounge or bar. I noticed your post-holes were very shallow compared to what I'd expect. Is that because of your high frost-line and/or because the deck structure is also supporting them?
And sometimes when mixing big jobs put half a bag in a 5 gallon bucket. Makes it easier to pour in and makes less mess. And half as heavy with a handle;)
OMG!!! We need April in Australia to show some of these cowboy tradesmen out here on how to build a deck. Well done to you. When is part 2 coming out? I think i am in love. 😍
I like your videos. No FLUFF. you are to the point. Nicely done. Keep them coming.
I've never seen a palm nailer before. That thing is amazing!
I bought a palm nailer specifically for building my deck. They are invaluable!
A palm nailer also serves as a great vibrator for small formed concrete projects such as a concrete countertop or stepping stones.
That is a great tool to be sure! Quick and easy to use too!
I have one in my home depot list of things to buy already, used one many years ago.
Oh yeah since they came
For perfect end cuts we always snapped a line and laid a straight board down to run the saw along as a guide. Even your dog could make that cut. Great video young lady!
I was very pleased to see you wearing respiratory protection while cutting treated lumber. Gloves are important too because slivers from that stuff can be wicked! Enjoyed your video.
I totally agree!
She’s a breath of fresh air ….. explains well , works well a joy to watch go get em girl!
I've learned so much from this girl omg.....she's so good! She's literally as good as it gets!!!!!!!!!!! Omg!
Crushing hard? ;) In all seriousness tho' she sure puts the hours in.
I love composite, the only downside is that if is expose to the sun☀️ it can get very hot ♨️🔥
My barefeet confirm this
Yep, this is true but I'll have a roof on mine. : )
Timber decking gets really hot too though.
Anything untreated in the sun gets hot.....
@@sofascialistadankulamegado1781 nothing compared to the heat from composite
Bloody hell April, I was thinking "Oh that's a nice deck" and then you showed the sketchup plan and wowed me quite a bit. It's looking great and it's going to be amazing!
:) hehehe, yes it is going to be pretty spectacular I think! I can't wait for you all to see it complete.
@@AprilWilkerson Hi April, great work. Keep it up. Do you have the plans for sale for the entire outdoor kitchen?
Hard working, smart, and charismatic: you make the knowledge you share a pleasure to learn, April. Thank you!
That's so great to hear. I love absorbing information then relying it to others that are interested in the same thing.
I totally agree with both of you!
It is so satisfying to see that thrown together so well. The unprofessional, rude construction around me is going slow for them and all I see is possibilities for a permaculture paradise with homesteading communal type living where everyone works well as a team with big projects.
Well, you know what they say...
Design from the roof down, build from the ground up.
Fantastic build!!!
It has been my dream to run an outdoor kitchen on my property.
So much nicer to be outside in the heart of nature, than cooped up indoors.
OMG 😱 April you not making a deck but a open cabin good job lady 👍👏💪 by a 🇫🇷 fan
April your a credit to women and most men in DIY, etc, I love it, keep it coming 👍
That palm nailer is fantastic. Didn't even know about that tool. Thanks.
It is one of the best specialty tools there is. My world changed when I found out about it!
@@AprilWilkerson Was that palm nailer pneumatic. ???????
April's abject skill makes me feel inadequate.... and yet I can't stop watching.
I have never heard that word before. I looked it up. I can’t process any of the definitions or understand how the word fits at all into her skill or this video. If this were survivor, I’d vote you off.
It’s going to look great. You have such great energy when you are building these beautiful projects. Keep up the marvelous work.
Hello April,I love all your videos.You are way better than I with your building.I work at the local county forest preserve.Chain saws are my skills.I noticed you using a chain saw at beginning.WOW April I'm afraid for you.If you have never seen a chain saw accident you don't want to.PLEASE,PLEASE If you don't use eye,ear and hand protection at least wear chain saw chaps.This is coming from a professional with chain saws.Chain saw accidents are horrible and hit fast.Also your teaching your viewers it's ok not to use chaps.I just love watching your videos and don't want you injured..thank you for your videos April.
When I did mine, I back cut the 'end grain' of the composite decking slightly so you don't see the ugliness of it against the 'bread board' edge. It is a bit more work but makes a difference. Nice job - love your outdoor space!
Two things. 1 glad to see a new member to the team. She seems to be doing awesome. 2. Glad to see you guys having fun.
Cindy is the best!
I use a bunch of Flex Seal on the wood that I bury to keep them from getting water rot. So far so good. The sides and the bottom.
You can also use a simple jig consisting of a 2xwhatever joist and a wider-longer cap stick nailed on to set the joist hangers. That is faster yet leaves you with usually zero joist end leveling... great project so far. Looking forward to the rest!
You are an inspiration to all women who want to do woodworking! I learned a lot by watching you!
Happy to hear that! Thank you!
good job to the whole team! You go, Cindy, you're doing a great job!
Impressive. Stumbled on this series down the line and now getting through it all.
One thing for sure you are a determining hard worker and very detailed on all your projects and that’s why a love you channel. Awesome deck
: ) Thank you very much. I never mind working hard when I want something. It's fun for me. Glad you enjoy the channel!
That thing is huge! Biggest deck I ever built was 15x32. Great work my friend!
Thanks!
I'm a chippy myself form Dublin Ireland and have to say its going to be some job when it's finished.
God Bless the Irish, A tough bunch for sure.

The most beautiful deck I have seen in my life! And huge too!
I like all your works and video you are giving us, except from nailing and cutting healthy trees!🌳🌲🍀

My heart ached a bit when I saw all the tags left on the end of the boards in the last section, and then ends without tags being final trimmed... but that will still be a very nice outside kitchen.
About to build a tree fort for the kiddo. This was so helpful and affirming for my process.
Putting the palm nailer and post sleeve on my list.
Wonderful! I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

Nice looking deck and good choice of materials since a shortage😉👍🏻
It looks like it will be you a great deck with a kitchen. It will be a fine addition to the Wilkerson Property. Thanks for sharing! Felix
You’ve given me hope that I can transform my small - _very_ rocky - tract in the hill country, into an inviting, well appointed home.
Hope.. and a laser level :-)
wow, from 300k followers to 1,3 million in just few years. Congrat
I recommend if you install joist hangers alot, get a positive placement/ hanger gun.... way more efficient .
So easy. I've built a number of these in my life. I'll probably build another few. peace
April, you have vision, you are a big picture thinker.
Well done to you and your team. 👍💖
Thank you, I am. : ) I love thinking about the bigger picture then breaking it down into smaller bites to start tackling.
Really digging the stripe design. When it's complete it's going to really flow well. The only downside to this video is it's only part 1. :(

@Draven Omar yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself :D
if its big enough to worry you shouldn't be cutting it down the whole way anyways, put some wedges in there and tip it over slowly.
