Looks great! It's amazing how the magic of video editing can make it look so easy. If you showed every step from getting started early in the morning, gathering tools and materials, hauling it all to site, unloading, working for many hours with only one set of hands, and then loading it back up again at the need of the day it would portray a massive undertaking... not to mention dealing with the camera, tripod placement, lighting, and sound, which is a job in itself. But you do it all well, successfully, and keeping that personable demeanor through it all is impressive. Thanks for all of your effort. I appreciate it very much. Your site and a young couple Building_a_Boat_by_the_River in Tasmania are my go to sites for relaxing and learning.
What a compliment! Thank you. Yes, probably twice the effort and time just to video, but worth it when I can share it with people like yourself who appreciate it. I’ll have to check out the other site. 🙏🙏
If your toolbox has a VIP it hands down has to be your Speed Square, prominently featured in almost every video! Another great build so far, always looking forward to the next episode.
Hi Patrick, It's nice to meet you as well. I'm Richard. Just looking at your cabin and the new kitchen you are building. I think you need a set of steps, going to and from the kitchen and the cabinet.
A+ Nice Work .... that structure will last a very long time ... I would be inclined to spray paint the Strong Tie Hangers considering your climate (minor detail at best)
Demo and framing. My favorite parts of a job. They go so quickly in comparison to how long it takes me to do the finishing. Ultimately I like the results of finish work more, just not the doing of it as much. I like the artistic aspect of it but getting it right is a challenge where demo an framing is just fun.
You got a good laugh out of me when you restarted the episode! LOL, You’ve become a staple of my Friday evening! Keep it up Patrick, nice work both literally and figuratively!
Nicely done ! This is so relaxing and entertaining. It is just fun watching. I’ve written this before, you are one of my top three RUclips channels. Can or will you share some background on yourself ? How did you get Red Moose. Can you see Canada from the kitchen deck or are we looking the wrong way ? Thanks for letting us tag along as you build. Have fun and most of all, stay safe. See you next week.
I really thought for sure that you were going to tell us that you didn't have a blooper tape because nothing ever went wrong. Nice to see the universal physics work up there, too. Thank for showing how to fix overly crowned boards. A little too late for me to use that on my current project (I'm hoping gravity will do it's thing).Well I've got to get my entrance door installed today even though it's 111° so....see ya later and thanks for the episode.
6:14 That 2x went right back down to where it was before you brought it up to level didn't it. There's nothing I like less than headstrong wood... Unless I'm using it for headers then it's different story.
Hello from Midway,Tx hey Patrick I need a pay raise, this Biden administration has gotten me broken like a twig in the forest…. Send money 💰 quickly sir…. 😂 hope your doing well my old friend…
Great channel. I have been working on my own cabin in the Ozarks. You have given me lots of ideas. Just one questions, I have never seen wood/joists that are perforated like that. Just curious…
@@LifeontheMoose The pressure treated wood I have access to here in the South isn’t perforated. I can imagine the wood you have access to is of much better quality.
@ 14:33 Can you all see it now, a few inches longer on each joist and we are done here, put the decking on and it's over / SIMPLE IS ALMOST ALWAYS BETTER !!!
@ 14:00 quick and easy, just count the time it takes to screw or hammer all those JOIST HANGERS in place ( hangers at both ends so two times each joist X screws/nails per each end, it just goes on and on and on ) / joist are not made to be hung ( hanging is so barbaric ) LOL
and for the record I am not a carpenter, just a retired postman, But my "Grandpa Was A Carpenter" John Prine & the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band / check the song out
It’s Friday. Interesting floor joist set up. I assumed there would be joist hangers on both sides but forgot about the slope. The plan is coming together……and I knew you’d be having BEAR CHILI for lunch! Must give you “extraordinary” fuel for working! Another fun video with jokes. 🎉
The farthest I could have made it would have been up to the cabin. Unable to drive the truck all the way around because of boulders and such. So I figured just transfer the wood below where it was level and I had some elbow room. Great question!
Nice work, rim joists hangers on one side, cantilever the other, nice! I did that in a tree house to get a few extra feet. That was not a blooper. You just wanted to get some extra exercise with deadlifts and walking before lunch. I would trade some maple syrup for bear chili. When I built my 2-foot high, 8-foot wide 32-foot long wood bridge, the rim joists were screwed into the posts and a section sheered off with a simple lawn tractor's weight. To prevent that I butted an extra 2x6 piece to each post from the footing up to the bottom of the rim joists. Now I feel safer with that added compression strength having seen sheer failure. Very cheap and easy to add.
We didn't get to see the lumber slide off the forks but I imagine (from driving a tractor for many years) that, I don't even know what to call it when the tires hit alternating bumps that cause that horizontal force like a magician pulling a table cloth off a table covered in dishes. Sometimes the front, forks in this case, go back to center and catch the load and sometimes you get a pile of dishes on the floor. I guess you could have just gone high on the left side. This just made me remember that weird shimmy. But it's not nearly as aggravating as the the "what you shoulda done" advice after....
I should’ve had the camera rolling when it happened. Pretty much how you described it! The right bump at the right angle while steering in the right direction..
Kan het niet genoeg zeggen wat een prachtige omgeving 😍. Je betrekt je kijkers bij al je werk, love it👌, doe zo verder. Geniet steeds van je films. Thanks.
at 23:50 you start putting in the rim joist? why not do one screw on one end and then go to the other end, line it up and do a screw there then hit the joists in between? Keep it up, enjoying the 4th wall breaking. 😀
I appreciate how you blend practical tips with your enthusiasm for outdoor craftsmanship. It's inspiring to see your dedication to sustainable living and creativity in action. Keep up the fantastic work-it's a pleasure to follow your project!
I can’t quite maneuver the truck all the way like I can the tractor or side-by-side. So I figured I’d just transfer materials where I had some elbow room. Good question!
I will if the sun isn’t shining! Seriously, no disrespect intended…I just wear sunglasses which are also my safety glasses, and I occasionally forget they’re on.
Thank you! Normally we would not need a permit for what is in essence, a glorified gazebo, but it would depend on the local governing body. Some towns or even homeowners associations can be stricter than others. Good question! 🙏
Good to be back on the Moose with you this week, I’m already looking forward to seeing the decking go on next week… well until then, you take care of yourself Patrick. Oh yeah,it was a great video 👍👍
Me neither in the NE. Had to look it up. Apparently, it allows pressure-treating chemicals to penetrate some wood types more deeply, but not 100% sure.
It appears that you used 1 1/2 in nails for the diagonals on your joist hangers. It is required to use 2 1/2 in minimum for those diagonals so they cinch the joist to the rim. Without those 2 1/2 in crossing nails/screws, there is nothing really connecting the joist to the rim.
Rewatched the joist bracket attachment and nailing several times. And it’s a little difficult to see the nail size(s) used. They all seemed to come out of the same container, and the bracket attachment to the beam (doubled joists) were almost certainly galvanized 1&1/2” connector nails. They usually were set with only a couple of hammer strikes. The diagonal nails seemed to take more hits, but that could have been settling the angled nail. All that, to say, what’s it matter? Patrick has said many times, he’s not following any specific building code, rather he’s doing what makes sense for the circumstances. BTW, a 2&1/2” nail, shorter than an 8d, probably doesn’t meet the manufacturer’s specifications; I think they call for 10d nails on the diagonals.
Actually there is way more than necessary holding it to the rim joist, especially by the time I’m done. First the screw through the rim joist, then the hanger nails (have you ever tried to remove a board from a hanger?!), then the opposing rim joist, and finally, the first deck board, which will encompass both rim joists and the first 2 inches of each joist. Possibly more important, there will never be a force that will pull on those joists independently of everything else around them. BUT…I may have undersized the diagonal nail, without concern whatsoever, for the above reasons. Thank you for mentioning it, and thanks for watching! 🙏

I think you’re right! Thank you so much.🙏
Hi Patrick, It's nice to meet you as well. I'm Richard. Just looking at your cabin and the new kitchen you are building. I think you need a set of steps, going to and from the kitchen and the cabinet.
Nice to meet you, Richard! I may be “carving” some steps into that slope in some fashion or another. 🙏
@ 8:40 if your are gong to do a cooking show you have to do more than Bear Chili LMAO
🎯
Most upbeat guy in the outdoor world of RUclips.
Well I don’t know about that. But thank you!
All right....lets get to work.
LOL in the beginning! What a nice presentation! Bear chili and a fabulous view!
Ha thank you!🙏
I have days that by 11:08 I still haven't gotten out of bed.
A+ Nice Work .... that structure will last a very long time ... I would be inclined to spray paint the Strong Tie Hangers considering your climate (minor detail at best)
Thank you! I wouldn’t have thought about painting those..
It's looking good! You one of the greatest views to eat lunch🙂😎🔥
I can’t argue that! …the lunch part.
Thank you! 🙏

That’s so awesome! I’ll be your Friday staple any day. Well I guess just on Fridays…🙏
I like your building videos Patrick your humor doesn’t hurt either 😁
Well thank you! I’m glad you like them. 🙏
Interesting build. I'll supervise from East Kentucky. Land of heat and high humidity. Take care be safe
I need supervision! Thank you and stay cool!
Nicely done ! This is so relaxing and entertaining. It is just fun watching. I’ve written this before, you are one of my top three RUclips channels.

Wow thank you so much! I’m honored🙏
And yes, you can see Canada. I’ll try to point that out in the next episode.
I really thought for sure that you were going to tell us that you didn't have a blooper tape because nothing ever went wrong. Nice to see the universal physics work up there, too.
Thank for showing how to fix overly crowned boards. A little too late for me to use that on my current project (I'm hoping gravity will do it's thing).Well I've got to get my entrance door installed today even though it's 111° so....see ya later and thanks for the episode.
Ha yes, physics is alive and well here.
Yikes! Stay cool and have fun with that door. 🙏
6:14 That 2x went right back down to where it was before you brought it up to level didn't it. There's nothing I like less than headstrong wood... Unless I'm using it for headers then it's different story.
Ha true!
Anyone notice how "Chuck Norris" Pat is. He is so "Chuck Norris" he eats soup with a fork and the soup is so scared it stays on the fuckin fork.
lol. That’s a first!
Although I’m glad you noticed I forgot my spoon…
I ordered a T Shirt...can't wait till it gets here..Maybe I will just hang on the wall....lov to you and wife from South Alabama
Aw that’s so kind! Thank you. Karen says luv back! 🙏
It really didn't surprise me when all of the lumber slid off of the forks of the tractor. Been there, done that.
Dang slick wood! lol. 😂
Breaktime already ?? I drank a pot of coffee this morning.....
🤣
Hello from Midway,Tx hey Patrick I need a pay raise, this Biden administration has gotten me broken like a twig in the forest…. Send money 💰 quickly sir…. 😂 hope your doing well my old friend…
Hi Midway! I’ll telegraph some money today to our local pony express station, so you should have it just in time for the next administration! 😅🙏
@@LifeontheMoose that’s why I work hard for you 😂😂😂🇺🇸
Looks like beautiful country.
It is! A pleasure to “work” in.
Great channel. I have been working on my own cabin in the Ozarks. You have given me lots of ideas. Just one questions, I have never seen wood/joists that are perforated like that. Just curious…
We call it ‘pressure treated’ lumber, impregnated with a preservative. It’s the wood rated for “ground contact.”
And thank you!!🙏
@@LifeontheMoose The pressure treated wood I have access to here in the South isn’t perforated. I can imagine the wood you have access to is of much better quality.
@ 14:33 Can you all see it now, a few inches longer on each joist and we are done here, put the decking on and it's over / SIMPLE IS ALMOST ALWAYS BETTER !!!
Great video! If it were my deck, there would be blocking over the beam. I like the method you used to flush up the joist tops!
Thank you! I’m not sure what you’re referring to with the blocking..
2x blocking placed between the joists over the beam they rest on.@@LifeontheMoose
@ 14:00 quick and easy, just count the time it takes to screw or hammer all those JOIST HANGERS in place ( hangers at both ends so two times each joist X screws/nails per each end, it just goes on and on and on ) / joist are not made to be hung ( hanging is so barbaric ) LOL
Now we know your secret for muscle definition. You dump tractor loads of heavy boards and then move them by hand.
lol! Unintentional workout!
and for the record I am not a carpenter, just a retired postman, But my "Grandpa Was A Carpenter" John Prine & the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band / check the song out
@ 20:25 double rim joist, floor joist on top, why in the H were joist hangers ever used in this project ( cause you bought them at a yard sale )
Another excellent episode!
🙏
More tomfoolery please😄
Right?! I’ll work on that..😅
With the speed square you taught me a skill I forgot. Yes I’m 74 but still tinkering with wood at times.
That’s awesome! Tinkering and learning are my middle names. Well, not really. 🙏
@@LifeontheMoose Yes Sir “The Tinkering Moose” Time to write a book.
Always good food for thought when building. 👍
Looking great!
Thanks!
Looking good
Thanks!
It’s Friday. Interesting floor joist set up. I assumed there would be joist hangers on both sides but forgot about the slope. The plan is coming together……and I knew you’d be having BEAR CHILI for lunch! Must give you “extraordinary” fuel for working! Another fun video with jokes. 🎉
Ha thanks! Fuel indeed! 🙏
As always, enjoyable!
🙏
so.........why do you always park so far down the hill? I guess I understand when it is snowy ..but, why today.?
The farthest I could have made it would have been up to the cabin. Unable to drive the truck all the way around because of boulders and such. So I figured just transfer the wood below where it was level and I had some elbow room. Great question!

Hey thank you! Not a bad idea, I’ve been pondering doing something like that…just in case. I’m not opposed to overbuilding!
Maybe you can show your audience how to build a picnic table from scratch. Keep up the good work. You make entertaining videos.
Not a bad idea! 🙏
Ah come on, we all know the lumber sliding off the tractor was staged. 😂 we all enjoyed the laugh 😅.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😅
We didn't get to see the lumber slide off the forks but I imagine (from driving a tractor for many years) that, I don't even know what to call it when the tires hit alternating bumps that cause that horizontal force like a magician pulling a table cloth off a table covered in dishes.

I should’ve had the camera rolling when it happened. Pretty much how you described it! The right bump at the right angle while steering in the right direction..
Next time, put a ratcheting strap over the boards, your body will thank you.
Ahh good ole hindsight!
You are so correct. After moving the posts and beams without incident, that shiny store-bought stuff bit me in the …🙏
I got and idea for that limb!
Im a giver😎!
Maybe a towel rack or a living pan and utensil holder
Interesting! I like it. 🙏
Are you putting in blocking before you install the deck boards?
I believe I will be adding something to straighten those joists out.
Kan het niet genoeg zeggen wat een prachtige omgeving 😍. Je betrekt je kijkers bij al je werk, love it👌, doe zo verder. Geniet steeds van je films. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Yes, I’m blessed to be “working” in that environment. 🙏
We can see the floor for the kitchen already. It's really nice. Thanks, Patrick.
Thank you, my friend! 🙏
8:46 - is there any other kind?
Patrick it's looking great ! All treated lumber it will last you a long time :) Keep on truckin one board at a time you'll be cooking in no time :)👍
Hey thanks!🙏
@ 19:49 why is this the smart end of the kitchen build, No Joist Hangers Here what the H happened ?
Design…
at 23:50 you start putting in the rim joist? why not do one screw on one end and then go to the other end, line it up and do a screw there then hit the joists in between? Keep it up, enjoying the 4th wall breaking. 😀
Hey thank you so much! I’ll have to look into that. Wall? What wall? 🤔😅🙏
What do you mean, now that I'm caught up I have to wait for next week like everyone else?
Thank you so much for getting caught up! 🙏
I went to school with Tom Foolery.... He wasn't such a fool....
He sounds more fun than Bobby Boring!
I appreciate how you blend practical tips with your enthusiasm for outdoor craftsmanship. It's inspiring to see your dedication to sustainable living and creativity in action. Keep up the fantastic work-it's a pleasure to follow your project!
That is so kind. Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. 🙏
@ 15:58 can we all see this major flaw that is creating more work and hardware that is not necessary ??? simply put the joist on top the rim joist
Design. I don’t want the floor an additional 7.5” higher. Not a flaw, just a choice!
Yeah we all have those days that don’t start well. Staying positive is the key! You do this well.
You’re right! And thank you. I don’t always succeed! 🙏
??? WHY HANGERS ON on one end and not the other..strange..
..because they are only hanging on one end.
Knock it off already and just invite me over....lol
lol. You’re always invited! At least on Fridays at 4pm Eastern Time…🙏
Nice job Patrick..... enjoy your videos 💯
I appreciate that! 🙏
You had a lot of " hay I'm only one guy " tricks there....
I have no choice..😅
I really love bear chili! Bear makes great spaghetti sauce too 😋
Yes it does!
@ 17:55 they should ban joist hangers and cigarettes
I’m not sure every governing entity will agree with you!
Great video can’t wait to see how this out door kitchen comes out ❤❤Love
🙏🙏Love back at you!
Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching!
bravo
Very nice work ! Really enjoyed this one.
Thank you!!
why didint you just drive your truck over there to unload
I can’t quite maneuver the truck all the way like I can the tractor or side-by-side. So I figured I’d just transfer materials where I had some elbow room. Good question!
Could you not wear shades when actually addressing us? Your biggst fan humbly asking.
I will if the sun isn’t shining!
Seriously, no disrespect intended…I just wear sunglasses which are also my safety glasses, and I occasionally forget they’re on.
@@LifeontheMoose Hey man, thanks. It's much more personal this way.
Not enough tom-foolery in this episode.
I kind of felt like that too!
First meal in the outdoor kitchen!😂
Yes! 👍🏻
"Bent Tree Kitchen" back on track LOL
I like it!
HA..I hate nailing in joist hangers..
Not my fave either, but a step better than sanding!
Ps: groeten vanuit België 🇧🇪👍.
Greetings, Belgium!
Amazing as always. In the state of the US where you are at, you need some permits to buid a structure like that ? Cheers from Italy 😊
Thank you!
Normally we would not need a permit for what is in essence, a glorified gazebo, but it would depend on the local governing body. Some towns or even homeowners associations can be stricter than others.
Good question! 🙏
@@LifeontheMoose interesting! Thanks
I just made some elk meat chili. Yum yum!
Mmm, that’s even better than bear!
Bear Chili who would have known
I’m just about out..!
Beautiful country!❤
Indeed! 🙏
is your decking going to serve the function of blocking on the overhanging end?
wellll, I suppose if I had been patient I would have gotten my answer... (not to mention the hint in the opening image)...
Well, impatience is not my strength, so I can’t thwart you! I appreciate you watching!
That is going to be awesome! 😊
I hope so! 🙏
Good to be back on the Moose with you this week, I’m already looking forward to seeing the decking go on next week… well until then, you take care of yourself Patrick. Oh yeah,it was a great video 👍👍
Thank you! Good to see you. 🙏
I have never seen wood around here in the South with lil track marks in it?
Me neither in the NE. Had to look it up. Apparently, it allows pressure-treating chemicals to penetrate some wood types more deeply, but not 100% sure.
Yup, the “pressure treated” wood. Popular around here, especially for ground contact applications.

Next time use a 2" ratchet strap around the wood and one of the forks or two for good measure 📏
That would have been a solid idea!
