    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. 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?

      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.

      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. 😉

      Ha, nah no shame should be inflicted! But I'm glad to hear I somehow inspire you to do stuff. :)

    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.

    This deck is bigger than my house. 😆 But feels like I can give making my own (much smaller) deck now. Great instructional content as always. 👌

    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.

    Looking good there, April! Have you thought about getting some removable forklift tines for your tractor bucket? Looks like they'd come in handy.

    Hi April, how did you attach the rim joist and beams to the concrete pilings? Awesome job!

    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. 😍
