    Tip for drilling through post to concrete. Drill your hole through the post with wood bit. Hold the post up to the concrete where you want to drill. Use the masonry bit and drill through the punctured piece of wood and make a mark on the concrete. Voila! Your hole is perfectly marked and can be drilled

    You did a fantastic job on the railing and the shutters! In fact, the entire house!!! I love your home and what you've done with it! 👍

    No offense, but you need to take people's safety as the number one goal. Unsecured posts and poor anchoring could result in injury and a law suit.

    @chriskeith5742 6 лет назад +2

    For beginners know this, measure once cut twice. Works the same for drilling holes in the wrong spot.
    It's good to have a nice eye for leveling/measuring but start the good habit of always confirming your measurements with your tape/square.

    Looks pretty decent for a first time job. In the future you should drill pilot holes for your wood screws so you don't split your lumber.

    Nice video and thank you! Just a heads up my boss used to freak out on me when I use the miter saw and I held onto the piece of wood that was being cut off. I always supported the larger piece even if it seemed more Awkward to hold and saw

  • @terrythomas790
    @terrythomas790 4 года назад +4

    Cmon man, do some planning before jumping in. That fix with the chuck of wood was horrible. $2 could get you a new one at Home Depot. Cut it to fit. Every one of the screws split each of the balisters at the bottom as well. And plan things in advance to hide all the fasteners! You are buying good tools, but do it right ,do it once. This railing wont last to long

    I love ❤️ the railing. Wish you lived closer to do one for my Mother. The house from two years ago to now is beyond beautiful! A idea not sure it can be done but build a faux garage at the end of the driveway against your house build it out a few feet and add doors (with locks) so you can keep your kids and your future bike inside from future thief. If not in front then on the side of the house. You could make it so nice that it would become part of the house beauty.

    I'm sorry but you bought perfect supplies but the ledger board was way off, you removed thankfully. But with with the top where you attached to a lose pillar? It needed a 4x4 pole anchored in nicely. That also with proper measurement would have allowed every chair rail to fit exact.

    My neighbor hired a crew to put an addition on his house. One man was using the air nailer to fasten plywood to a stud. Another man was a ways on the other side of the plywood. He missed the stud and the nail took out the other man's eye. The tragic part was that there safety glasses were due in at the end of the week. Treat these air nailers like rifles, because that is what they are. My hands got sweaty when I saw your son playing on the porch close to you not understanding he was in a dangerous area.
