A tip for the sconces: The next time you have to custom cut a piece like that, measure the hole diameter 1/2" smaller than the diameter of the back plate. That way, when you use your screw spacers and screw the back plate in, you can suck the back plate up snug onto the cut piece (over- laying by 1/4" on each side), rather than have the plate "float" on the screws. Great work on the pond liner rain gutters. That's one heck of a hack, and anyone who appreciates math will like the use of trapezoidal cuts to force pitch away from the house. Very nice work.
@@billvandorn5332It absolutely wouldnt work in terms of weight support with ice; though thats where the (rather pricey) systems that use molded plastic or metal *would* work. Although, you get a lot shorter deck season out of them (I know in MD it was like a 2-3 month window from late April-early July between "too cold" and "too damn hot") so maybe there you just dont bother
For making under deck gutter systems use Shower pan lining in the plumbing section of the box stores. 5 ft long rolls, no wrinkles, attach with 1in long hot dipped galv roof nails.
@@TheSidneySmith Yes. 5ft long rolls means they would be 5 ft wide and you could cut say, a 20 ft long roll piece that would be 5ft wide by 20 ft long.😇
Paul is my imaginary pops I can call anytime I’m in a project and he can tell me how to do it right. Great video on some newer products and of course techniques to do the job the StudPack way.
I’ve been tiling bathrooms for some time now and I’ve seen all different types of patterns but the homogenous tile will probably look better in this space. You want the focus to be on walls not the floor
Paul!!!!!! You always have hidden real world tricks, but when you said you collect all the tv mount spacers for a rainy day- you lit me up! I do the same thing. They’re so handy for future use as stand-offs, spacers, bushings… they’re tough, dielectric….and in the toolbox!
Never thought I’d be addicted to a construction channel, yet here I am, every week waiting for more. Can’t wait till they start building the other house.
Jordan, your dad has so much helpful knowledge, it truly is a blessing to have someone like him to teach the younger generation. I am a flooring/painting contractor in Georgia, and I am in the neighborhood of your dad's age. I love the down to earth, quality of people that you, your dad, and Rad (I guess I spelled his name right) are. Keep doing what you do and please know that your authentic, genuineness as good wholesome people comes through in your videos.
I agree. I just replaced the ceiling fan in the master bedroom. The fan rated ceiling box the old fan was mounted to was too narrow for the new fan’s bracket. If it were not for the blocking around the box, I would have been in the attic yesterday installing some. The new style Hunter mounts are wider than the 40 year old mounts.
I renovated my old house kitchen with Ikea and then we moved to a newer more expensive house Brand new kitchen cabinets that I paid extra to have soft closed drawers on the bottom and I'm here to tell you I miss my Ikea cabinetry I had in my old house! I had the builder run plumbing for the upstairs game room wet bar and I chose to put in Ikea cabinets and they look fantastic!
Studpack: Heads up on this one. You'll get a kick out of it. What is better than HDG nails in treasure-treated wood? Stainless steel screws. Screwas don't back out after time. You newbies never learn. You guys did one-up on me though. I built an upper deck on a two-story house and needed to protect the T&G on the underside of that deck. I had made custom galvanized sheet metal pans to fit in between the joists. Draining the water into rain gutters that were hidden into the deck. It's complicated. Long story short. If I had thought of using a pound liner to solve the problem. I might be a couple thousand bucks richer and about teen headaches short. Damn,,, Next time... Wait... No next time. I retired and no next time. I'm so glad of that. PS: I like your work. You do well for a guy who is still learning. NEVER STOP LEARNING. No matter how old you get. ( Manley hugs).
I wish we could show you what we've done on this reno by using all of Paul's advice. The fact that the advice also works for Australian double brick homes is so good. Garage is looking great! ❤
Since the wall tiles have a lot of texture color wise, with some pattern as well, I'd recommend going with the tile on the Right as a contrast to grittyness of the wall tile.
Busy tile on left, I loved that gutter system. Inexpensive, functional, requires almost no fancy tools, and we have exact instructions. Then you gave us the bonus wire coil trick. Great great video!!!
Next time you need to put a block in a too big opening, cut the hole slightly smaller then the light flange opening so the outside rim of the flange is supported. If necessary (depending on the flange design, a notch or hole where the two screws go that hold it to the box and there is no need for rinky-dink spacers. 😢
The pond liner as rain redirect system is a brilliant hack! I have seen some house using corrugated roof panels to catch and redirect rainwater under a porch, but never seen that hack.
Same technology, except pitched mine back toward the house, and tied the deck downspout into the existing roof downspout on the corner of the house. Boxed in (hid) the gutter into a soffit against the wall. IMHO a much cleaner finish than the gutter away from the house with it's own downspout (mower hazard, burial project, etc.)
As an architect in Fiji we face the same problems with decking and tropical torrential downpours. That deck drainage system you have devised with the pond liner is simple yet effective and cost friendly. If it’s ok with you guysI’ll be showing this to contractors here to adapt to our needs, because as you pointed out the decking substructure always suffers from water penetration and rot. This would save us a lot of money in maintenance here. Thanks for the construction detail lesson, much appreciated from a new subscriber in Fiji. God bless guys👍😎🤙👊🇫🇯
I made those style spacers years ago, they can’t be beat! Nice job Paul, Jordan and Rad! If this is how nice the garage and apartment will be, I can just imagine the main house.
They’re quite legitimately far better quality than the stuff you would find at your average Lowe’s or other similar home improvement center. We have some of the IKEA kitchen cabinets in our finished daylight basement for storage, and they work really well for that purpose too. I have relatives who recently renovated their kitchen with entirely IKEA products as well, and we plan to do so sometime in the future as well.
I'm voting for the plain tile on the right. Can't go wrong either way though. So far I love your choices for almost all aspects of the build. Budget is always a consideration and I appreciate your discussion of the tradeoffs.
@@aron6998 norm is more of a woodworker. Larry is probably a good one though. I love watching him build even to this day even though I’ve seen a lot of em already.
The cedar is gonna look great! Seeya on next one! Been livin in my tiny home a month and 10 days. Still plenty to do, tryin to get plenty of cabinets and storage cabinets are so exspensive but finding short and wide ones for tiny house walls , normal cabinets for walls are problem , but getting there, finding good used ones saving money and since tiny house is unique just keep finding them 1 or 2 at a time! With the cost of everything so high I am almost to a safe pausing point, where I can save up money and take my time and find unquie things an ideas to make it more to my tastes. And maximizing every inch! I enjoy watching yall in the morning to get motivated and inspired or at night to relax and get ideas! Thanks to all 3 of you , always entertaining. Seeya on next one! Realy think you should run your gutters to a buried tank and DIY you a system to use that rain water to water your grass when they restrict or ban usung city water to water your grass. Like they do every year in drought of summer! I think you will regret it this summer! Shh! Do notlet anyone know how you always have greenest yard! Lol!
i would go with the plain tile, if you have a really nice wall tile you dont want other things competing for your attention it just makes them both look worse. Im sure you have seen overdone bathrooms or living rooms with way too many high quality things its usually a bit over the top.
Just got done bandaiding a deck roof. I have never seen such flimsy corrugated plastic. Like always screwed to the joist from below open ended and opaque. Original builder decided not to run the firring strips to the end which caused a sag and a leak at the overlap. I like this pondliner idea semms much more fool proof and the wood is covered inside the gutter trapizoid so wasps should stay out. Now you gotta show me how to eliminate pine needles getting stuck in the decking cracks. We got a lot of pines out here on the coast of NC.
As an Electrician for 20+ years I hate that style of bracket for those type of lights especially on vanities fixtures. It is something you should know ahead of time so you can install the correct type of light box at rough in . They are almost impossible to get tight with an old work box.
I was thinking that since they are outside how will they hold up against a very strong wind storm? Texas has some good ones. I imagine they will ripped right off that face with just two screws and a thin sheet of metal keeping them in place. Live and learn I suppose. We'll see in five years how it went. 8^)
If the more "busy" pattern tile looks good it'll have some function over form. Shower and bathroom areas get the water and moisture that'll be the catalyst for all the dirt to build up and make it look dirty all the time. My votes the "pattern" tile
IMHO for the bathroom floor tile I would go with the plain grey as it is a weight room shower and does not need to be as dressy as what you would put in a bathroom in the house. It would show less dirt and you are going to be plenty dirty over the next 2 years building your house.
My husband and I are avid supporters of your channel and look forward to each new adventure lol. We usually go with more homogeneous surfaces, but this time we thought that the one with the veining was subtle enough to make it interesting, but of course we defer to Jordan's taste.
as an HVAC guy, My go to for spacers is 1/4 inch tubing, copper for high load situations and nylon for spacing out light switches and Plugs. Love watching you guys.
I'd never even considered how to make an "in-deck" gutter. Thank you guys, I am old and live in a ranch style single story, so I will likely never have to use it, but I still enjoy learning stuff like this! Also, I am always happy to see another update on this project going on roughly 250-ish miles south of me (might be 270-ish, north side of DFW here, but I suspect you are on the north side of the metropolis I grew up in.)
I am still thinking you guys need to get the building secured. When are garage doors happening ? Looking great. I think I would have painted the blocks for the light before attaching them, but that's just me.
I started building a high end shed and it makes me appreciate your skill and attention to detail. Construction is hard to get perfect. Sure you can get a structure up but it’s hard to make it all square and nice
You mentioned how to protect around garage. Have some rotten wood around my garage where meets the concrete. I looked but just can't find it in videos now that going back to look. Love the videos. Thank you!
Love this. I'm redoing the columns on our front deck which overhangs our patio, and I was going to redeck it and build a gutter system like this. Was going to use EPDM, but this is way cheaper and doesn't need to be as tough as EPDM. Thanks!
We put in large tile on the walls of our shower but it was recommended that we use small tile for the floor since it isn't as slippery as the large pieces. We have been in the house a 1/2 years and agree that the small tile isn't slippery. I like the outside flooring that has water proof built into it. I don't know how long your plastic will hold up.
My vote is for the homogeneous tile, both for aesthetics preferences and for practical reasons: I always find it a pain to get a nice pattern flowing between tiles with that random, marble-like pattern, and it kills my OCD. Also, great solution for the in-floor gutter!
I gotta say I kinda like the IKEA kitchens. I have one at home and have installed several at work (work as a carpenter in Sweden) and I actually like putting the cabinets and such together and I really like their system with the steel support that you screw to the wall and then hang on the cabinets one by one :) And they are pretty durable too. My kitchen is from 2016 and isn't showing any wear EXCEPT the facia for the dishwasher. The hot steam takes a toll on the paint eventually.
I'd go with the tile with variation, rather than the plainer one. It both matches (due to the stone look) and contrasts (due to color tone) the shower wall tile... they should look great together.
We did something very similar for the drainage and gutter last year. Where the water didn't drain properly it became a great place for bugs and Nats to live.
Yea I have had my self installed Ikea kitchen for 8 years now, I still love it, best money for quality I spent, It was easy and straight forward to install.
I have a custom cabinet kitching in my main kitchen and I did ikea in my basement wet bar, and so far the Ikea is standing up better. Sure, it doesn't get as much use, but it does get a lot of use. Obviously your mileage may vary.
You are all doing an amazing job. Every role in making these videos has to work simultaneously the entire time, especially the BTS to make a great video. This entire series has produced videos that people not only want to watch but keep coming back for more. You all should be proud of your work.
Paul, I’m glad I am not the only one that keeps those provided spacers that come with tv mounts. They have saved me on more than one occasion. Yall keep up the great work.
I appreciate the sconce light boarder and spacer portion of this video. I have new wall light fixtures for the front of our house mounted on wood siding, this is exactly what I needed to level it out, and hide the mounting hole behind. Thanks!!!!
Our house was renovated and we installed a heated flooring (water heated) and my wife found a tile store that sold speckled baby blue 12x12" tiles. It was textured for like a no-slip swimming pool pedestrian area. It was perfect. Wet or dry, you didn't slip and the heated floor felt great.
I use an 8-32 nut behind the back plate. You can leave it slightly loose until the plate is near final position, then slip your little finger behind the plate to hold the nut for the last few turns. Works great for outlets (6-32 nut) where the drywall opening is too large and box is recessed too deep.
I don't know how well that pond liner will hold up compared to metal gutter pans, but it sure is cheaper. As an added bonus, it protects the top of the joists without spending extra on tape. My hypothesis is that this will work fine in the warm climates that don't get snow and ice. Hey, it might even work in the cold ones, but I wouldn't risk running the experiment.
A lot of people down here in TN and VA will use the space under the deck as a storing are for outdoor equipment. By far the most used that I've seen is the suntuf roof pannel that are clear and then they add a fuuter to the end of it.
@ 30:00....you could've just drilled a smaller hole in the block then drilled 2 small holes for your backing plate. That way you wouldn't need spacers and your backing plate would be firmly supported all the way around. Since you only have a couple small wires coming out with your quick connects, a smaller hole won't be much of an issue for wiring access
Great video again, as always, thanks for all the great content. The liner system that ya'll used is a great idea, its pretty similar to the trex rainescape system. I've used theirs several times in the past and one way we have gotten the liners to have less wrinkles like ya'll talked about is to use a screen spline tool and run it down the center of the bays. It creates a small groove without actually cutting anything and helps to straighten out the wrinkles.
I’ve done a lot of Ikea kitchens. Their hardware is Blum, including the drawers. I hope Jordan did drawers. Doors with roll-outs is a two step process you don’t need. My one IKEA Hack: use 3/4” thick Azek or PVC sheet for the sink floor. I will also use a different drawer/door face company to change things up. Everything in their Sektion line is ala carte.
I like the tile with pattern. Love the drain system on the deck that was cool. Great tip on the caulking. So much detail. Fun to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea with the DIY gutter. For the gutters on the garage and house are you going to do some type of underground drainage system to maybe a drywall? I would love to see that as a video.
large format floor tile can be dangerous and slippery when wet. I would use smaller format tile size with the added slip resistance afforded by all the tile grout lines. On one job, we wanted a particular tile so I cut the tile into the size I wanted and it worked out perfectly. The use of porcelain makes the cut very easy.
A tip for the sconces:
The next time you have to custom cut a piece like that, measure the hole diameter 1/2" smaller than the diameter of the back plate. That way, when you use your screw spacers and screw the back plate in, you can suck the back plate up snug onto the cut piece (over- laying by 1/4" on each side), rather than have the plate "float" on the screws.
Great work on the pond liner rain gutters. That's one heck of a hack, and anyone who appreciates math will like the use of trapezoidal cuts to force pitch away from the house. Very nice work.
plus one on the smaller diameter, then paint the piece before nailing it up and you won't have to mask.
Great tip!
I like the concept of the rain gutters under the deck however, I can't help but wonder what it might be like we're Homes located in freezing weather?
@@billvandorn5332It absolutely wouldnt work in terms of weight support with ice; though thats where the (rather pricey) systems that use molded plastic or metal *would* work.

Wow the water storage for the caulk !! Were not worthy we’re not worthy !!
Pex tubing works as great spacers too!
I use PEX for that also
The plainer one on the right will me more grounding and give a spa like vibe.
I’ve been tiling bathrooms for some time now and I’ve seen all different types of patterns but the homogenous tile will probably look better in this space. You want the focus to be on walls not the floor
The gorgeous tile on the left with movement would look fantastic in the bathroom shower and the gray on the floor, opposite of what you said ..
100% agreed!
Paul!!!!!! You always have hidden real world tricks, but when you said you collect all the tv mount spacers for a rainy day- you lit me up! I do the same thing. They’re so handy for future use as stand-offs, spacers, bushings… they’re tough, dielectric….and in the toolbox!
I like the planer of the two floor tiles for the bathroom. Solid grey, no veins...

We put in large tile on the walls of our shower but it was recommended that we use small tile for the floor since it isn't as slippery as the large pieces. We have been in the house a 1/2 years and agree that the small tile isn't slippery. I like the outside flooring that has water proof built into it. I don't know how long your plastic will hold up.
My vote is for the homogeneous tile, both for aesthetics preferences and for practical reasons: I always find it a pain to get a nice pattern flowing between tiles with that random, marble-like pattern, and it kills my OCD. Also, great solution for the in-floor gutter!
That DIY deck gutter is absolutely genius.
Credit "DrDecks" How to waterproof a deck (with EPDM pond liner),, note that he calks over the joints and the staples between sections.
I gotta say I kinda like the IKEA kitchens. I have one at home and have installed several at work (work as a carpenter in Sweden) and I actually like putting the cabinets and such together and I really like their system with the steel support that you screw to the wall and then hang on the cabinets one by one :)
And they are pretty durable too. My kitchen is from 2016 and isn't showing any wear EXCEPT the facia for the dishwasher. The hot steam takes a toll on the paint eventually.
I'd go with the tile with variation, rather than the plainer one. It both matches (due to the stone look) and contrasts (due to color tone) the shower wall tile... they should look great together.
We did something very similar for the drainage and gutter last year. Where the water didn't drain properly it became a great place for bugs and Nats to live.
I built an IKEA kitchen and laundry room, they look great and six years later are still as beautiful and functional as they did on day one!
Ikea gets a bad rap sometimes .. Its like any store, they offer different qualities across the product line
Yea I have had my self installed Ikea kitchen for 8 years now, I still love it, best money for quality I spent, It was easy and straight forward to install.
I have a custom cabinet kitching in my main kitchen and I did ikea in my basement wet bar, and so far the Ikea is standing up better. Sure, it doesn't get as much use, but it does get a lot of use. Obviously your mileage may vary.
That is a genius idea to weatherguard the deck and preent water from going through to the bottom. You guys are doing great work.
You are all doing an amazing job. Every role in making these videos has to work simultaneously the entire time, especially the BTS to make a great video.
This entire series has produced videos that people not only want to watch but keep coming back for more. You all should be proud of your work.
Paul, I’m glad I am not the only one that keeps those provided spacers that come with tv mounts. They have saved me on more than one occasion. Yall keep up the great work.
I appreciate the sconce light boarder and spacer portion of this video. I have new wall light fixtures for the front of our house mounted on wood siding, this is exactly what I needed to level it out, and hide the mounting hole behind. Thanks!!!!
Go with the floor tile on the left!!
I prefer the tile with a bit more pattern (the first one you described)
Keep it simple. Simple tile
that is actually such a simple and genius gutter. I really it.
Our house was renovated and we installed a heated flooring (water heated) and my wife found a tile store that sold speckled baby blue 12x12" tiles. It was textured for like a no-slip swimming pool pedestrian area. It was perfect. Wet or dry, you didn't slip and the heated floor felt great.
I love my Diamondback tool bags and my Graco whip for my airless sprayer
I use an 8-32 nut behind the back plate. You can leave it slightly loose until the plate is near final position, then slip your little finger behind the plate to hold the nut for the last few turns. Works great for outlets (6-32 nut) where the drywall opening is too large and box is recessed too deep.
All your content is 100% on point but the custom deck gutter is next level. It's a tough problem to solve and you nailed it. Well done.
I don't know how well that pond liner will hold up compared to metal gutter pans, but it sure is cheaper. As an added bonus, it protects the top of the joists without spending extra on tape. My hypothesis is that this will work fine in the warm climates that don't get snow and ice. Hey, it might even work in the cold ones, but I wouldn't risk running the experiment.
A lot of people down here in TN and VA will use the space under the deck as a storing are for outdoor equipment. By far the most used that I've seen is the suntuf roof pannel that are clear and then they add a fuuter to the end of it.
@ 30:00....you could've just drilled a smaller hole in the block then drilled 2 small holes for your backing plate. That way you wouldn't need spacers and your backing plate would be firmly supported all the way around. Since you only have a couple small wires coming out with your quick connects, a smaller hole won't be much of an issue for wiring access
I'm always looking forward to the next video. Keep'm coming 😉
Great video again, as always, thanks for all the great content. The liner system that ya'll used is a great idea, its pretty similar to the trex rainescape system. I've used theirs several times in the past and one way we have gotten the liners to have less wrinkles like ya'll talked about is to use a screen spline tool and run it down the center of the bays. It creates a small groove without actually cutting anything and helps to straighten out the wrinkles.
The more active tile on the left!!
Marbled pattern for floor. Nailed the wall tile!
That decking drainage system is bangin! That's an excellent idea!
Great Job Stud pack, I discovered your channel when you were in Hawaii and have been hooked ever since. Hello from Indiana.
Yes on the hot dipped Galv. That arsenic/chemicals in pressure treated wood wont let the regular nails last even 3seasons (outside)
My selection for floor tile would be the whitish vainly one since you have a clear wall tile. Both with patterns would be too busy for me.
I’ve done a lot of Ikea kitchens. Their hardware is Blum, including the drawers. I hope Jordan did drawers. Doors with roll-outs is a two step process you don’t need. My one IKEA Hack: use 3/4” thick Azek or PVC sheet for the sink floor.
I will also use a different drawer/door face company to change things up.
Everything in their Sektion line is ala carte.
"little project" lol
(that garage is a whole house, great vids)
wait until the Big Side of the House!
The garage is like 4x my house 😁
I look forward to these videos so much. Paul is reaching legendary status. ❤
I like the tile with pattern. Love the drain system on the deck that was cool. Great tip on the caulking. So much detail. Fun to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea with the DIY gutter. For the gutters on the garage and house are you going to do some type of underground drainage system to maybe a drywall? I would love to see that as a video.
SPC (Stud Pack Crew) for the floor tile, I suggest the left tile that has a pattern to break up the flat grey that you're putting on the wall.
Beautiful job on the lights. It's the little things that exude quality. Nothing fancy, but clean and solid looking.
Caulking / sealant tubes in water was a great tip, thanks!
y'all could add a killer rain water collection system there :O
would be great for watering the lawn/planters/etc.
large format floor tile can be dangerous and slippery when wet. I would use smaller format tile size with the added slip resistance afforded by all the tile grout lines. On one job, we wanted a particular tile so I cut the tile into the size I wanted and it worked out perfectly. The use of porcelain makes the cut very easy.
