playlist lets you watch this already
Keeps has done wonders for your hair growth. True story.
Hmm. I'm thinking about getting this for my son. He's 36 now and his hair is definitely thinning/receding. His father started going bald around that age.
My triple hammer's trigger got stuck in and I can't use it. Any idea what caused it
@@davegordon6943yeah, squeezing it
That’s legit the nicest temp railing I’ve ever seen on a job …
It's not even plumb
@@Formula7Driverwho cares, it’s not like it’s permanent
@@terencemerrittI care. Or maybe I was joking?
damn u must work on shit jobs
It was cool to see the bracing immediately used. When he said they would use the bracing I was skeptical. The interior framing is done? Why would they need such long 2x4s. Nice resolution
Hey guys commercial plumber here from a large metropolitan city on the west coast. When I first found your channel I assumed just another backwoods framing crew barely able to square a room. I have never been more wrong in my life. You guys and your crew do excellent work, the quality you guys exhibit is the best I’ve seen. The videos are great as well. Keep ‘‘em coming!!
I thought in the beginning it was going to be an affordable small-size home -- but it's now looking like a million dollar home.
What's not these days lol
Yeah, this deck added a lot of value to the house. Totally transformed it.
Deckmania! It's going to beautiful. But it's hefty structure is very impressive view.
Yeah, I was thinking, this house looks so simple, they’ll be done in no time. Then they started building the deck, with enormous posts! Not so simple at all..
Ramelle, just admit it, you wanted the Perkins Builder Brothers to build you a tree house!
That deck and the view from it are going to be awesome!
Well @c.a.g.1977, when this little dream started out last year I had no idea I would wind up with a treehouse . But I sure am happy with the fact that i will indeed be living in the trees with a really great view when the leaves drop!
@@ramellesmith1520 Absolutely! Really nice to see you help the guys. The PBB crew are awesome! You will have a very pleasant and cozy home there, I'm sure
@ramellesmith1520
Ah-huh !!! What a sigh of satisfaction there's going to be when the house and that deck are finished. I can just see us in 2 very elegant summer lounge chairs fully extended with a tasty beverage in hand, just soaking up the last rays of summer , listening to the cicadas and bush critters as the trees sway in a slight occasional breeze and the world is a million miles away. 😊My imagination can run wild but for , reality is not far away from biting as you indulge yourself in the tranquillity of an evening g on that glorious deck. Are you investing in a hot tub ??? I so can't get over how this small inexpensive retirement house in a bush setting, was suddenly transformed by a massive deck into a million dollar view and experience of living in a tree house !!! SHOOTDANG LADY you just hit the JACKPOT !!!!!!! Heather Your Aussie kindred spirit Ramelle. Peace out sister. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏👊🇺🇸😊
and I certainly feel like I hit the jackpot with PBB and crew! They are the A Team for sure!pardon any misspelling etc as the reply function is not working correctly for some reason nor can I edit - technology can be such a PIA.@@heatherclayton-callaghan4270 no hot tub, too much hassle and maintenance for me. AI will enjoy every bit of the deck spaces . They’ll be great to enjoy by myself or with friends. I have actually been enjoying them already having lunch with the crew and then on the weekends by myself. The views are great now that the leafs have dropped off the trees.
It's another beautiful build .... Can't wait until Erik publishes a 2 hour vid of the whole build like the other homes. LOVE THEM! If you see this Erik ... I watch them all
Jason mentioning RayJay builder buddies made me realize how much I miss that channel. I love the way Rays cabinets came out -the color was amazing. I also miss Beckah! Maybe Jason can visit the house so we can get an update!
Hey guys! One of the coolest things about this building channel is that you all keep it real! Plus the positive and fun energy is nice bonus ; )
All the best!
Right? They have so much energy. What they're doing is hard enough, but they're explaining it and finding ways to make it entertaining. Hats off to Erik, Jaime, Jason, Ray and JohnO. They're a great team. (Arlo, too, though he's not in this one. He's home, being old.)
That's what I love most of all
Pro tip for removing ground stakes, you can attach a clamp or vice grip to the stake to use as a fulcrum point for your board/lever, saves a bit of time and hassle over driving and removing screws.
Where's the joke about the "Zip" line....you know - since you're using the Zip System OSB 😀😜
At the start of the video 🙄
I'm really enjoying watching this build. I kinda want one now lol... In the woods too. If I ever get the money I am building in the woods on a hillside or something.
North Carolina's most expensive deck build. *THIS HOUSE* is going to be amazing!
The temp railing really puts the deck in to perspective. It’s REALLY big!😊😊
That’s what she said
I never want these videos to end, they’re so entertaining and informative
I love the work you all do! And how much you focus on quality and safety. Even the amount of care you put into having a nice temporary rail goes to show it.
Jamie, the next time you want to pull one of those stubborn stakes that's stuck in the ground (5:08), just try the following: move the stake continuously in a circular direction, forcing it outward as you go, making the hole ever larger. You'll notice the stake will rotate in the opposite direction until it just pops out. Much easier and faster!
I'm in favor of leaving the wood natural. Old grey wood looks nice, especially when you're surrounded by trees.
Oh man I cant wait to see the home owner woman step up there for the first time like she did just on top of the floor layout, I SO hope you get to film that.
Dude, zip line…totally best idea ever. I can’t tell you how much I needed this upload.
My week has only two important days :
Thursday: Perkins Builder B. video
Sunday: Perkins Builder B video
I was surprised to see Jamie throwing dirt around the bottoms of the posts! I like to wrap them with some kind of membrane, aqua-barrier or even creosote where wood meets earth, to at least 4-6 inches above grade.
I would probably want to do something like that as well, but it is probably unnecessary as long as those 8x8's are rated for marine or below grade. Considering the absolute nightmare it would be to repair/replace those posts, I would go for the overkill anyway, just for peace of mind.
That’s a massive deck, will be an amazing place to just chill!
Take a lot of pressure off your drills when installing the Large GK screws lube makes a lot of difference
My Dad used to recommend carrying a bar of soap for that very reason. Don't want to be using that other kind of lube... 😂
This house and deck is going to be very nice and a relaxing place to be
Deck Wars - Episode V - The Perkins Strike Back - After years of building the Galactic Deck, an old enemy returns - Structural Sway. The Builder's Alliance brace themselves, until a new challenge appears: Girder Staining - Ray's ultimate fear.
Noicccce haha
Clever!
You don't need to screw each stake to the lever. Screw two blocks onto the lever, just a bit further apart than the width of the stake. Then, place the stake between the blocks, and the friction from lifting the lever will increase as you lift because the angle of attack on the blocks shifts to pinch it. Kind of how a t-post puller works.
Yup, this way you've mentioned saves you heaps of time to screwing and unscrewing each stake/peg if there is a lot of bracing stakes/pegs to remove. You can also use this same two-block method on a lever to remove concrete boxing pegs/stakes as well as most other types of stakes/pegs from the ground.
My dad and I were pulling t-posts and didn't want to go buy a t-post puller. We made one from a t-post and some scrap metal. It worked. Then after about the tenth one (pulling out of hard Oklahoma clay) I got the tractor and attached a chain to the bucket. Hydraulics beat muscle every time. @@DrTubeman
@@ronsimpson143 Yup, you certainly can't beat the power of hydraulics, especially if you've got an excavator with a bucket grab attachment.
I've been operating excavators, bulldozers, loaders, graders, and other heavy machinery for decades.
One of the most handy machines for pulling out fencing posts is a 20-30 ton excavator with a bucket grab attachment fitted, you can rip out massive strainer posts 50cm-20inchs that had had locking blocks wired and nailed to the bottom of the post with ease even if the posts were in rocky hard ground with rocks ramed around the base of the posts.
The key was to grab and lock tightly into the post halfway down between a bucket tooth and a tong of the grab and hoist a post out using the lifting boom of the excavator, extra stubborn posts you use a combination of the bucket crowd dipper arm and boom to force a post out of the ground.
I love that you guys are always concerned with safety. Some things I see others do on RUclips make me cringe. You guys are the best!
2:00 - That's what Arlo calls " being smarter than the wood."
Gotta be smarter than what you’re working with
Jamie has buried underground entire purpose of post brackets @16:04 - keep wood out of soil. Poor Simpson engineers designed special offsets, calculated load, location of holes for screews etc etc until one guy with shovel dug them back in into ground.
The entire purpose is to stabilize the post to the foundation, not to keep wood out of the soil, although it’s optimal to keep it out of the soil lol
@@terencemerritt another chair warrior lol. Stick your post into ground hole and pour concrete like almost all crappy US contractors do it will do more "stable" post. yeah it will be more stable till it rots in next 5-7 year around post area at level of soil. I see at ALL decks when wood is in ground no matter treated or not. Who cares, right ? Warranty will be expired already.
Use a normal chuck drill for the long structural screws, you'd be surprised how much eaiser they go in and how much your impact will thank you
Love your content. I learn something new from you guys every time I watch. Only recommendation - seal the end grain and all ground-contact wood on those 8x8 post before you backfill. I like to use a wide flash tape like 9” G tape. That stuff is easy to apply, no dry time like other dip or paint-on sealers and will create an impenetrable barrier against moisture, rot, mold, etc. I’ve torn out 10 year old pressure treated deck post in relatively low moisture ground found checking and rot that greatly compromised the posts. I’m just not a big fan of any ground contact for “treated” lumber. Too many variables…
I love those fish packets for lunch. Add what you like and eat better.
You guys need to make longer video's. PLEASE 😊
Have you ever thought about using a wax ring to lubricant the screws? They go in a lot easier and reduce the wear on your driver.
Then the toilet wax ring would be monotonous
I always love the fresh Perkins content!
Beautiful deck and location.
Hey guys looking good
Those grks take a lot to drive! The Simpson sdws go in like a dream compared
I would have wrapped the wooden post being filled over with dirt with some DPM for the extra water proofing
It’ll also trap water inside too. Damned if do damned if you do t type of thing
@@terencemerritt Just seems weird to me that they would put zip tape on the top rails of the deck to stop them rotting out but then cover the supporting posts with dirt which will definitely rot out touching dirt when you can at least put in a barrier between the moister source which finishes above ground level just for extra prevention... Especially seen as though those rotting and sheeting off would be the most catastrophic scenerio? Wrap them in DPM then seal the top with Lexel would much be better than touching a moister source no?
Hey guys, really enjoying this build. What a beautiful spot to work at, all in the shad!! And the design on this home is looking outstanding. The deck is amazing. 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱🇺🇸
Took me a couple of days to view but I do like the ending. Smooth as butter! 🧈
Tell Ray that staining the posts and bracing is an excellent idea 💡. He agree once it is completed 👍🏽 😊
The deck is amazing, but it's kind of like a hallway. It'd be better if there was a lounging area somewhere on the deck, with a table and chairs or something. Like picture at 20:18 if the deck bumped out say 8 feet to the right where the center of the house bumps out, and the roof kept going above it. You'd have a pretty epic 3 season dining room in the trees. Maybe hang a light feature from the roof and make it a screen porch. OK done making work for you now, it's going to be amazing either way.
“you can’t do anything without thinkin’ about it” - brilliant!
In the 1970s I was on an electric utility power substation construction crew. We built with steel lattice angle iron members. Rule #1 was Never tighten any bolts until ALL bolts were in their holes because a twisted or racked truss or column was impossible to correct. Good video fellows.
THAT HOUSE HAS TO COST A FORTUNE
"Give to me a fulcrum on which to plant my lever, and I will move the world.” - some old Greek dude probably.
Archimedes
I have them in the crock pot now w/ boneless skinless chicken,.onions, garlic, pink Himalayan salt...very filling & delicious !
The one big take away on this build is the amount of bracing necessary with tall structures. Thanks for keeping it real. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man ( or woman) healthy, wealthy and wise.
I had to laugh at the zip line comment made by Jaime, my house is halfway up a mountain and a zip line was one of the first things I thought of when we first moved here. There is a Zip World not far from us. The bracing looks good, just the right length, has Jason squirreled away the offcuts for his fire pit. Thanks for posting, take care 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
That deck really makes the house look like it is coming together. Nice job guys.
I would love to set up a meeting with you all to discuss house designs. Aspiring builder here that found your videos when I searched how to build a house. Very informative and makes me want to collaborate! Buy land. Get permits. Locate power and water lines. Septic tank! 😂 I never thought about those things while sketching plans or using my favorite floor plan app to make 3d renders of my sketches. You all give me hope that I will see neighborhoods of my designs! Love these videos. Keep building!
Awesome to see you guys solve problems with brains and humor! You guys are an inspiration to all, and have helped me keep my sanity trying to do a tricky reno that includes no right angles anywhere.
I do think the comments on Pressure Treated deck posts are right-- if the dirt contacts the wood, they might rot pretty quick. Soil and bugs and fungus are different all over, of course, but out here in coastal Cali we had PT fence posts turn to powder in 8 years or so. I've seen plastic 1/2 barrels put around 'em on the uphill side to hold up the dirt, and maybe gravel run-off beds to channel the water away?
Sounds totally surprised: "... it's like we did a good job or something." 🤣
Great show, love it. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
I don't know why, but the addition of the temp railing makes the bump out look really cool!!
That is the coolest deck I've seen. Could easily be accommodate a one lane bowling lane ;o) Love the series.
This is my absolute favorite RUclips Channel.
Need to get a Milwaukee impact for this big screws 😂. Mine drives those no problem.
That deck is monumental. She needs a big slider somewhere in the middle.
Dude! The channel is so good don’t change a thing, stay gold.
Hey PBB! wonderful to watch you work, as always! I suggest to brace it with long diagonal HORIZONTAL studs under the deck, from the wall to the edge, instead of the short VERTICAL corner braces. The result would be a perfect stiff deck, with zero chance to move, and a cleaner look from the side. Plus, the huge time savings on the process. Cheers!
The deck cards will pretty much eliminate any movement if there is any. And perfect stuff decks are overrated lol
Pressure treated or not, wood that is touching the ground is going to rot. Those post will be near impossible to replace. That deck is going to fail.
I believe there is a code in the 2018 NC code that the brace needs to start a minimum of 1/3 down the length of the post. So if it’s 12’ the brace would start 4’ down from the top. I’m also a NC general contractor.
I always find myself using a Dewalt trigger clamp for plumbing my joists to the band board. Solo framing has its ups and downs, but it seems to always work for me!
Sir Jamie, standard support is base on the span. On horizontal, the clear span you devide it to three. The first 3rd is when you put the bracket. On vertical on the other hand, devide it 4. The first quadrant from the top is your mark. You're welcome. 😊
There is a brace table on framing squares.
Also, for any 45⁰ brace, just take the leg length times 1.414 (which is the sq.rt. of 2).
I'm surprised that, with all your experience, you don't use this method.
I think the problem is that there might be small variations in the leg lengths and then the braces might not end up exactly 45 degrees. Yes it is more work but it gives the most uniform appearence.
I love watching you guys. Thanks for the tidbits of knowledge and loads of entertainment!
A tool I use often to align the joist with the rim board is a 600lb squeeze clamp. If you angle the clamp just enough, you can raise or lower your joist, depending on what needs to be done.
Jasons channel really is starting to pop off
Cant wait for the compilation video 👍🏼👍🏼
Y'all are champions. Thank you for sharing with us.
..and there is house inside of that super deck.
Thanks. For. Building. With. Us. Today... don't lose your roots perkins.
Contents still great 🤘😅
I like the new rail system. Job well done.
Hey Guys,
Code for deck post braces if you're doing a kneebrace is min 1/3rd the height of the post from the top, 45-60* angle. 2018 NCRBC Appendix M, Figure AM109.1(2)
Good advice, and the correct code quoted.
I just wrote a similar comment, then deleted it after finding this one.
There’s also an amendment to am109 that states two HDP galvanized screws can be used given they have a diameter >= .270. Those grks do not meet the requirement. Simpsons are the only ones I know that do.
Deck is huge now that it’s defined by the temp railing.
Well built deck and the only thing I would have done differently was to add 12" cardboard tubes under the 6x6's to raise the completely out of the ground for no bottom post rot over time.
Yes, finally somebody mentioned this.
Not only did I keep mine out of ground but I soaked them in preservative and termite killer for a week to the bottom 2 Ft. of the posts.
4:40 - those have to be the biggest Tapcons (Simpson or whatever they are) I've ever seen. RIP rotary hammer drill.
Posts buried in dirt, please tell me I am dreaming.
Installing steel cables in a horizontal X pattern immediately below the floor joists would greatly increase lateral rigidity and stability. Use a turnbuckle in each run of cable to pre-tension them.
The decking when installed will pretty much take care of any movement issues if there is any
If my memory is correct for the bracing, 3 ft by 3 ft is a 45* triangle, so 3 times the square root of 2 equals the hypotenuse.
So the length should be 4.242 ft or 50.9 inches.
Jason was so proud of that one user! 😁 It's a good day when PBB video drops!
Really look foward to seeing these guys videos. Extremely enjoyable.
Man, that looks so nice guys, Romelle is going to be so pleased. And the kitties are really going to love you for making the deck a great place to be. By the way, I'm about to build a house here in Wichita, KS, what would it cost me to get you guys to come here and build it for me?
you guys rock---thank you for what you all do
This home is phenomenal
To hold his guard back, put a penny nail in there, wedge it hands-free
Good job❤
GLOVES!! - I got a huge sliver from pulling stakes like you did!
Jaime, you had to be quite sore after all that shoveling, and good on you for not pushing it off to Jay or Ray or Jono!
Good looking.! Work with Treated wood has to apply so many tricks and reinforce it right at the first before start it get dried out, and start getting worse, 2x8s to me is the only way stays on be holding by the decking boards
I really enjoy watching you guys build
Awesome. 👍👍
2 pipe clamps are your friends when lining up joists and end band, FYI :-D
I want to zip! Guys worked hard on that one side, so should be 100% level the whole way down. I can't wait to see what this looks like. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Get the guys the milwaukee surge so they can keep working while you guys do the splaning.
very good
I made it, guys!! Have a good afternoon ! KUTGW
It would be great if you could talk about your 4 day work week from business owner's perspective. How do you make it work? Pros & cons? Do the guys have to have weekend jobs and did you ever struggle with worker retention? If you're comfortable getting into it, do you pay above average hourly wages to make up for reduced hours? And anything else you'd like to share about it.
I'm currently working Monday to Friday, 9'ish hours a day on a fixed salary, for a mid sized civil/infrastructure general contractor. I don't have the energy for much more than sitting on the couch after workdays and half of the weekend is spent recuperating. And the years seem to be flying by. Somebody asked me the other day what I'd do if I won the lottery and I said "build spec houses". Now I'm giving it some serious thought.
Jonno said peanutbutter i was waiting for him to say peanut butter and tuna😂
Looking great!!!
