I can't focus on what's Jeff's saying whenever the vinyl siding on the corner of the house is in frame. Fix that first lol!
Jeff should throw in a free siding repair with the deck job.
Either someone nailed that siding tight enough for it to be structural or a window reflected on it and melted it 😂
That's all I could focus on. Fix it!
I think they had a BBQ parked there at one time.
@@blackietedd8783 happened to my brother with his smoker lol.
Building a deck tomorrow? No problem! Jeff always has the perfect timing with his videos.
Right?!? I was inspecting my deck to remove it from the rim joist 10 minutes ago.
I sold a kidney and bought a sheet of osb. Screwed it in to the dining room wall. We love looking at it during meals of top ramen.
I'm sure someone will think it's modern art and be impressed.
looking at our lumber hoard with a more favorable attitude lately
If you could sell another kidney, buy another sheet to break down into 2x2 pieces and sell them as reprints at a profit. Maybe enough profit to buy back both kidneys. Of course framing the reprints would cost an arm and a leg,
That intro took me right back to my childhood watching home improvement.
"You can't move forward until you are happy where you are." I really 👍that quote. Great life quote.
When I am ready and the prices are a bit down, I'll ask you about a 16 x 16 deck with a Geodome on it... well, that would be next year at the earliest. I am in Gatineau, just across the river!
Your inputs is really invaluable. Thanks for being here!
I’ve bought my first house with my wife and kid. My family has different professions my uncle is a painter my dad an industrial Plummer my other uncle an engineer and contractor but despite all that I’ve learned more from your videos I searched for how to build a shed because our new house has limited storage space and since I found you easiest to learn from I learnt about the tools and screws and different methods. Basically the basics from A to Z about home diy stuff. Well done this is better that the shit I learnt in school as a short half year time as builder and welder. I’m a karate teacher not a engineer but now I got the confidence I can break a board with my hand and build a shed with my drill and skill saw 😂 new sub you’ve earned much thanks from the Norway 🇳🇴
Perfect timing, hoping to have a similar deck type project. My mom fell 3 times from the same type of stairs last summer! Don't have as much space near the stairs, so I need a different configuration and a railing for her safety.
Thank you Jeff, your videos are priceless they help my DIY projects greatly. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
Glad to help, Cheers to Australia!
Jeff: Good approach. You helped these folks with their DIY project. Great video.
Thanks 👍
Ya know I've watched all your videos years ago for bathrooms. Just rewatched because I'm doing our bathroom this weekend! Going to be tiling... but this makes me want to expand our deck lol
I priced out boards for my 15' x 25' deck on my house yesterday. I wake up this morning and now I have to plan the whole thing again. Why would I think about cutting off a foot when I could just build out to 16!? Thanks for saving me from myself
You got this!
The homeowner did a great job under your guidance for the first time. Now onto that heat warped siding 😊
Very true!
super cool, glad to see more people gaining momentum in taking on a project like that themselves ! thanks for sharing
Our pleasure!
Canadians having social distanced coffee. 💙
I know this is a year old but "where the grass needs to be cut"...has me dying. I need to cut my grass now, lol 😆. Thanks for the education and humor!
More videos like this, so fun to watch! Thanks Jeff!
More to come! Cheers!
Jeff and Max - love the recut. The skirting we did after the video turned out amazing and then a bit of landscaping. Tackling siding this spring as we have some issue around the side you can’t see as well :) thanks again.. we love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! You guys are awesome! Cheers!
You should post a video of how you went about building the deck! It turned out great!
Love HRV DIY!! Jeff is great.
Love it!
Love your videos!
Thank you!
very cool
Jeff,I take my hat off to you. 👌👍
Was at a open house that had a quark floor.. I loved the look and how quiet it is. Can you you still do today, and how? I imagine a high grade sub floor with a wood filler between gaps and screw holes. W.w.jeff.d.
Great job. Please fix the vinyl siding
the melty siding is nice...
You get what you pay for.
bbq reno. cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yes, that's why I always slide my BBQ away from the vinyl siding before firing it up!
“Piece of cake”...👍
I’m a contractor and I haven’t built any decks this year yet people don’t want to spend over double the price on materials and totally get that! A 14x14 2x6 deck materials only is 1900$ in my area it’s just wild
People are certainly getting sticker shock when you quote a price now, yet swimming pool installers are backed up a year or more
vacation money is being rerouted to renos.
I didn't know Corona made coffee :D
Great video. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey DIY dude, what do you think of readyseal for decks?
Like first and now I'm ready to watch.
Boom!
@0:17 there's a lot of buckling on that siding. I enjoy watching your videos, I grew up on construction sites, my Dad was a builder/developer, and my four brothers were all master carpenters. I've renovated (minor) every home I've lived in and being a carpenter's daughter kicks in. lol
I’m unclear of what the code restrictions are that affect the design considerations in this project. Thanks for everything you do, Jeff.
Love these topic videos!! 👍😊
Twould be good to always mention building permits for any DIY projects. Many people have no idea that they must get one. Codes differ by state, etc., but better safe than sorry! Beats having to pay fines, or worse, have to take it out! 🤯 😎
no permit needed for unattached decks in many regions. Cheers!
Two weekends! Wow, when we redid our deck it took all summer. I think I spent two weekends just sourcing and ordering materials. I guess that's why I haven't gotten nearly as much done on my house as I want!
C'mon Bryan pitter patter let's get at er
Smart lady!
yup
I had some junkie replace my deck last year and he really botched the stairs. So rather than hire another loser I’m gonna give it a shot myself. Hell it can’t get any worse. Thanks got these videos.
Can you please do a hard wood floor refinishing video?
I love how youtube is putting ads for the Mike Holmes podcast on your videos now - fmd 🤣
Jeff is awesome!
I do not recommend the camo system I used it and after 2 years the boards cracked on the edges then I had to replace
I have never had that problem.
Would you ever do a closed in porch?? Always love the videos Jeff
we did a 3 season closed in porch video. here it is.ruclips.net/video/UAuGLhEMV14/видео.html
With wood cost being downright stupid at the moment, thinking of building a shed with metal studs, same basic idea as interior wall for assembly?
At what level do rails have to be installed?
nice - narrow area for sod or ground cover - low maintenance yard for sure
For sure!
WOW!!! Kit, you SMASHED IT. it looks awesome. and I love the way you adapted and went even bigger cause you realized it was well worth it (enjoyable bigger space vs some extra cost). congrats, you will always be PROUD as will your family. and I have a feeling your wife showed you her happiness cough cough given her smile on that deck in the final scene.
No issues with water-drainage in the concrete "foundation blocks"? Looks like the two-by-ten is "slotted" in --> Won't this accumulate water and have it leach into the end-grain?
I wish I could afford to buy wood. I'm trying to convince the local Blue Jays to build a 700sqft nest instead
Ive seen a bit of free wood in my area but nothing treated structual
Jeff,
This is the kind of help I'd love to have locally. I wonder why nobody offers this kind of service to DIY'ers. Have an experienced contractor come out and give information on how to do it.
Would love to have that service come with how to videos, like how to either have a floating or non floating deck. How much would you charge for that visit maybe that lasts 1.5 - 2 hrs?
I wonder if services like "ANGIES" list has a genre called mentoring.
How about replace the siding first because I see some warped pieces ( alot of heat from the sun most likely ) to the right of the back door then deal with it the deck after
it's not the sun that causes the warp. it was a BBQ
Will building over the concrete cause issues in the future? If the concrete absorbs moisture?
Inspiring design. This couple is exactly where we are right now. I've got a slightly different deck dilemma.
It's 200sf, on the north side of my house. The original contractors didn't install any aggregate beneath, so it's just dirt that never dries out and a mushroomy old stump. The big square is inside the "L" shape of the house, so ventilation is terrible. It attracts critters year round who find ways into the walls. The decking has rotted through in spots.
I'm thinking about A) replacing it entirely with a paver patio, preparing the substrate as in Jeff's ceramic tile patio video (awesome). However, to save lots of money - this place needs $10K here, $15K there, it never ends - I could also build B) a similar, but better deck using composite decking and combat critters with mesh.
If I go for the replacement deck, is it overkill to compact multiple layers of aggregate and landscape membrane first?
I want ZERO critters and I want it to get bone dry after snow melt and rain. I've done so many projects in the age of COVID and learned the law: preparation is 90% of the job. We're going to keep this house forever, eventually as a rental, just like the couple in this video.
I would suggest the patio this year. make sure you buy your pavers before starting they have limited stock! aggregates are easily come by still however.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Thanks. I'll talk to the boss and see if she's on board!
This is so perfect I'm having my deck removed soon.
Is the lumber in decent shape? You might be able to make a buck selling repurposed lumber with the lumber prices these days.
@@robertgiresi9515 so so who do I sell the wood too 🤔thank you
@@TheGourmetHusband You can see stuff being sold like that on eBay all the time. When you post it, just tell the buyer they have to come and pick up the wood themself. Take good pictures and set your price and you will generate interest. Look at other listings to get an idea of what people are getting for repurposed lumber.
cheers!
Looks great. I didn't know decks had codes you have to follow. I bought a home that has a small deck that almost sits on the ground. It is only like 2 inches off rhe ground. I was going to rebuild it cause it is pretty much rotted. Not sure why they thought it was going to last that long. I have got quotes on slabs but they arent in my budget so I was going to just build a deck but i see now I have to look at codes now. Thanks for posting this.
Any questions on code, just contact your local building department. They will answer any questions you might have, and in our area, also issue you your permit as needed. They'd rather answer your questions beforehand, so you'll do it correctly and safely, than have to make you redo something! 😉
great point Kathy
@@HomeRenoVisionDIYthanks, good for folks to know. Around here they are a "bit" crazy with requiring permits. 🤯 😲
@@kathyusa-iowa5137 if I'm rebuilding to the same size, do I still need to get a permit?
@@bbay1977 here, it's not about size. If you’re changing the footprint (i.e. moving or adding walls), or attaching something (i.e. built-in entertainment units), whether interior or exterior, then you need a permit. But if it's not a permanent part of the structure (you could pick it up and move it), then no permit required. That's the jist of it. Hope that helps. 😊
Um.... Why do you not have a show on HGTV yet..... I could watch you all day. I guess I’ll just keep doing it on RUclips. Also HGTV in another year are so 😂
I don't need a deck. but , well a catio. that way my fur buddy's can be outside and be safe
Is this déjà vu?
Either way it’s Jeff and I like it.
Hi Gary we edited the older version from 46 to 16 minutes. working on a designing a program that works and stays interesting as well as informative.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY I love it all! I also love repetition and can watch movies over and over. so I say bring it on!
just curious ...did you have a preference short or long form.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY for this kind of content and project, I think I liked the shorter content. It gave me the info I needed plus it leaves me wanting more which means I will come back for the next video.
Pretty awesome Reno Ninja Man.....WWJD.....
Cheers Mr Brown!
I want to do something like this in my yard, a floating deck, but the drop from the door to the ground is like 24-26in and i'm not sure how to tackle the stairs. Any ideas?
just build a couple of platform boxes and set them on the frame to create stairs. use 2x8 to frame the boxes and when done stacking a couple then you add the boards. 2 layers is 14 inches plus a floating deck makes it all within code. Cheers!
I was disappointed.. Jeff, I watch every one if your videos. I need to build a deck and I thought you had a great idea for building an " Affordable Deck" at today's pricing but this is an old video :(
Thank for your thoughts on the heat pump though, I'm following your recommendation not to get one :) Loretta in Guelph.
what happened to the wall there :-) and how much it cost ? i kindof lost it? number?
since we kept the height low we eliminated the need for stairs and railings. so it was half price for materials and diy labor. He made money on this for sure.
So, had the grill right next to the plastic siding?
right!
I don't think so. Could be a reflection burn off of a neighbors window, it happens.
nope. facing south
Who did the siding on right side of the patio doors? Driving me nuts ! Good video though!
Looks like someone melted it with a bbq
Lol ... that’s the next project :) it was a combo of bbq and not wanting to expand the scope of the deck project. But this is on the honey do list for this spring :) we did the edging around deck too which turned out great.
Hi Kit. I have a supplier for your siding. I can help you match the color and get you an great discount. Video idea!!!!
👍👍
Hi Jeff! Membership question. I am looking at joining (been subscribed for a long time and we love how you teach so much.) but wondered which level is right for me. I am a young widow with 4 teens. I bought a house that is so tiny with 0 open floor. Some days I feel I live in a rat maze with all these boxed spaces. Is there a number of questions or advice per level you will answer? Money is tight but if I screw it up and the house falls in well....money will be even more tight. ;) I want to make sure I am in the right level. I have attempted to get a contractor to come to the house but since so many homes were destroyed in the tornados they are all busy. So, can you answer questions about truss style and tell if it would be safe to remove a wall? And if you can which level would that fall under? Thank you for your time! The kids and I love watching your show. You give that heh HEH! laugh and it makes all of us laugh! :)
~Honey
Hi Honey. I only have 1 level of service to offer. If you place pictures in the forum i can advise from there. Talk soon! Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Sweet! I'm an official member! :)
Ok Jeff now that I see the symbol by my name i know you will see this right? I just tore down 12' X 24' section of my deck. 7 years old rotting like crazy. terrible. Here's what i need to know. I"m installing a swim spa, 20' X 8' , 1500 gallons, 25,000 lbs full plus kids and waves. I'm pouring a pad 8' down on the ground 6" thick with 1/2" rebar. the pad will be about 11 X 24. The tub is 6' tall and i want 20" sticking above the new deck which will be where the old one was at 8 to 9' above grade. What do you recommend that i do to build a platform for the swim spa at abour 5' above grade. how would you build that elevated platform. The new deck will be built around the swim spa and probably be build after the swim spa is set.
contact a helical pile company to do drawings for you so you can structure a platform to hold the weight. Or contact a structural engineer for drawings. Cheers!
How the f did u know Jeff? I'm gonna be ordering some trex soon to add an addition to my existing deck. Thanks bud.
great choice. Cheers!
How did u learn how to do this ? Is there classes?
worked for a guy a long time ago
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY what kind ? How can i learn all that stuff?
M. Jeff... i am new member (2 weeks), i just can’t find the place to ask question to you or where is your search engin 😫
Hi Paul. please go to the home page and click on the community button. scroll down until you find the instructions. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY is it working with ipad?
In french there is a place call communité but its empty😱
the Ipad might be your problem. some platforms are just not supported properly. Cheers!
The price of lumber though 🤯🤯
but the value of houses is going up as well so he actually made money and now has a nice living space outside.,
Great! now his whole backyard is a deck lol, why not go with some nice brick or patio stones since the deck is only a foot off the ground?
patio diy is not as quick and easy.
I'm gonna continue with the bootleg deck I'm building......Ima watch this too tho....
I see melted vinyl siding.
1 project at a time. Cheers!
#1
Cheers!
Beside today's sky prices and unpredictable future like never before nothing is affordable any more ...
Wait, I thought you said construction prices were too bloated to start new projects?
Kit lives in Ottawa. we have such a robust housing market this year it still makes sense in this region.
how come no rails
too expensive
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY thank you for being honest... great content have been watching for a long time ....
Its a rough time to be building anything out of wood
If you keep it simple design wise then it makes it possible.
That vinal siding warp is hurting my eyes!!!!! Will never do vinal my self..
not the siding's fault. someone bbq too close to the house
Those deck blocks protruding past the end of the deck are ugly. Should there not be an overhang to allow skirting to hide them? 11:23
in a perfect world. but remember the goal here was for a 1st time deck builder to do it DIY and on a tight budget. There are better design options for sure but I don't want to criticize the work. it looks great functions well and he did it alone. I say that's a win
I can’t post a picture but the skirting and landscaping we did around really made all the difference. I had the same concerns as I was staring at it and building it :)
@@kitlamoureux I'm getting ready to put in a floating deck and was wondering how to hide the blocks thats the reason for reply, i see now that framing to move the blocks away from the edges will do it.
is it just me, I understand usually what Jeff talks about in his videos. I am 100% lost on this video what he is trying to say or convey
Affordable until lumber went up with the pandemic right?
when you eliminate the need for railings it makes more financial sense. Besides here in Canada the vaccine roll out is so slow we won't be going on any vacations this year!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY merely just for conversation may be in Canada it’s not an issue but insurance like rails here.
interesting. we have a 24" off the ground rule so ne need for them if unattached. Cheers!
Let's buy her a new pair of jeans that are not all torn-up!!!!
Funny
Didn't expect all yapping and no building.
Cheers Mike, we are developing a video style that allows me to travel and help folks. We are not always going to be able to use the tools.
So many people commenting on the thing that drove me crazy... That warped siding! 😂😂
SAW that first
Was this before the great wood shortage of 21 ? 😂
not as much of a shortage as a price hike to regulate supply and demand.
Agreed 100% just didn’t sound as cool without saying shortage and year.
I thought the video was actually going to be about the warped vinyl siding.
Maybe fix the siding too?
Why does the commercial for free patio covers for I money down sound like a commerical for mesothelioma.. the lady looks so sad and angry giving the pitch to
Weird format for this video. I mean I don't really get it. You go into a place tell them a few pointers about building something and then come back once it's done to gloat? Was this just some type of motivational video to make people feel like they can do something? There wasn't any instructions, no video of the building process, nothing... I guess people can just watch it and say "oh wow they did it." Meh.
Thank you. we have decided that we will be making some major changes as soon as I can get vaccinated. that way i can work along side of the homeowners. Cheers!
That siding looks awful
yes but like most folks 1 job at a time. Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY no doubt. My garage looked awful.not anymore complete makeover...everything. myself. Picked up siding tricks from your series. Thanks jeff
Hot wife.
I see you're drinking a 'rona...
Well his wife did say "or drink something better" while sipping coffee before the deck was built. Of course, she had wine while the boys had a beer.
Typical woman... Her man breaks his back to build her what she wants. Even goes beyond what she wants and then in less than a week she's ready to sell it and move.
