Hey Perkins , I hope you guys read my comment . I saw all the process of this project and idk 🤷♂️ if I wrong but I think you guys forgot install Screen underneath the porch !
A little tip with those PVC sleeves. Since they cover tightly to the wood and can be sealed to be watertight, You can route out a box and groove in the 6x6 to run conduit and an outlet box to one of the outside posts (I usually suggest the furthest outside corner), and then seal tight with an exterior outlet box cover. Then you have power to the railing for holiday/celebration lights or plugging in speakers or catering equipment when hosting a party without having to run extension cords over the walking surface or dangling under. It is a small little luxury that a few of my clients never thought about but have since commented on how useful it has been.
I could not believe that Jamie had the PERFECT, real world excuse to use his teeny tiny hand plain to chamfer those posts, but decided to butcher them with a semi dull box cutter. What is going on? Jamie, are you okay? 😂😂 The new deck looks so much better and quite high end as well. Congrats you guys.
Y’all need a box truck set up with all your tools, hardware, etc. you could even add a microwave and refrigerator with solar power and if done right.. could power all your needs to build a home.
I certainly enjoy watching your videos. The pride in workmanship is impressive. Thanks for letting Jaime talk more. He is knowledgeable and very entertaining. I thoroughly enjoy watching him. Keep up the good work!
The thing with the way you cast the stair footing after having the stairs and stringers in place is now you created a sealed 3 sided box and the gaps in the treads will allow water in. I feel like unless you very carefully made sure to slope it toward the back you are going to have perpetual puddles that the bottom of the stringers will sit in and rot just like before. Maybe remove and shorten the first riser to allow the water to run out the front as well as for air to pass under to help dry any water. Just a thought.
I believe they are open in the back. The board you saw was a form board. But sloping the concrete slightly to run out the back between the stringers would be a good practice.
When I want to relax and enjoy good entertainment I’m here with the Perkins brothers and their awesome team, this is what you call a down to earth kinda crew lots of laughs
Jamie I love the bit you made! FESTOOL makes a Forstner bit with a long replaceable pilot bit called a ZOBO Bit that does a great job at making those giant pocket holes. Also great for railing spindles.
The screened in porch looks great, but it doesn’t stop the bugs from getting in through the decking. The gap between the boards is big for mosquitoes and gnats.
For those aluminum transfer smudges on the sleeves -- Mr. Clean miracle sponges. Just dampen the sponge and it takes anything off, including ink! The only caution is to be careful on high gloss plastic finish. It may slightly dull the shine. But for just about any smooth surface touch-up application, it IS a miracle! :)
Decks look awesome! I'm glad Eric explained what Tweener meant because I wondered everytime a new video dropped!😂 I could definitely use one of those Jamie bits to run structural screws on posts like that! He seriously needs to make and sell those.
Ok I've never responded... Only lurked. You can easily remove even permanent marker from vinyl post sleeves let alone aluminum residue. Firstly blue electric tape on the deck of the saw is quick and easy to protect sleeve. Finish guys use it on table saw decks as well when ripping prefinished fillers. Keeps scratches to a minimum. Anyway...if you scratch vinyl. Soft scrub is all you need. A little scouring sponge helps.. but really just soft scrub. Takes every scratch, marker or anything out. Try it. Tub o towels can help with aggressive stuff too loosen marker.
One trick you could try for cleaning scuffs off those pvc sleeves or anything pvc is to mix up 1/3 zylene and 2/3 simple green. The mix should be very milky white when mixed. It will almost remelt the surface and allow you to even smooth out light scratches. Little trick we used to use in the window and siding business. Will even help remove wet oil based caulk like quad.
Hey Jamie, I think you and I like to think a lot about stuff. One thought I had about putting concrete flush with the bottom of the stringers and having the concrete flat is that when water drips through the decking it just kind of sits there against the stringers, and potentially reduces their longevity. What about slightly sloping the concrete so that water can’t pool there. Just me overthinking again. 😆
I genuinely love watching you lads work. All highly skilled and yous still have loads of banter. How it should be . Keep up the amazing work chaps.. I’m a carpenter from Manchester, England 🏴 our industry is all about what you lads are about
I also think that having the post’s going through the decking and tied into structure with carriage bolts will be much faster, easier with 1 less water penetration point.
I'm guessing Arlo made the front steps, it was definitely a carpenter's project. Those post sleeves looked really good, you don't have to hide the screws or anything. As Jamie was cutting the corners off that one post I pictured him whittling a beaver or a salmon out of the post. The whole project looks really professional 😉 Be safe and well guys, thanks for posting 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
First video where you mention your new truck Erik. We would like to know details and how you set up your tools and accessorize it as time goes by. Also, lots of comments about Jamie using his utility knife vs a hand plane. I actually just renewed an interest in using mine vs sanding and other options I often use. I had a job installing a storm door and got my small plane out to knock the corner off of a shim needed which had to go into a caulked corner. Plane worked great and made nice long curlies!
You need an electric or butane hot knife. It would make quick work of those post covers and leave a really nice edge once you get a little practice. Anyone use to using high quality chisels should pick it up fairly quickly.
Excellent job, taking you time and getting it done right. I might lose a little sleep, however, imaging the torrential rain that’ll get in decking gap and sit on the footing and stringer with nowhere to go.
20:51 jamie put 1 or 2 layer of painters tape on the base of the aluminum/magnesium plate, some saw come with plastic selves when you first buy them for this reason to protect the material
I would have used Westbury aluminum railing 6" white posts and Tuscany black railing with drinkrail adapter. All powder coated aluminum and has a built in plumbing feature in the posts as well.
Easier to get the wobble out of your deck post if you have access to the underside you can build the strructure accordingly, and then run your fasteners straight up from the bottom. Keeping them close to the edge of the post. When you run the fasteners down from the top at an angle, they all end up in the center down at the structure, which gives very little stability.
Great entertainment chaps - Try a 125mm angle grinder with a 1.5mm metal blade next time for cutting the PVC post covers I use this for most poly products cutting also would a small radius on the posts that matches the internal radius of the PVC covers make sliding them on easier?
Our 2x6 is 48x148mm and our decking boards are 28x120mm. So my rise is 148, a board on top as the step + a board to close the gap on the rise. The nose needs to overhang a bit, 28mm+10 or so. So 120x3 is 360mm ~40mm is 320mm step depth, 148mm rise. Just cut and stack 2x6😁
To bad Jamie can't come up with a bracket the bolts down to the deck and recess into the bottom of a 4x4 or 6x6 post with a through bolt or two and a couple of plugs. You could use a 3x3 tubing, and that would give you two points of contact for the through bolts. Could be too much work, but it would hold forever. Make it from aluminum or powder coated.
Oh my gosh I love you guys. I shared your videos with my husband trying to get him motivated….. it hasn’t worked yet😳. Wow the final product looks amazing. Good job guys.
Very nice deck, and great tips on cutting those sleeves. I may have missed it but did you install netting under the deck boards to prevent mosquitos from entering the screened-in area? Those little pests are clever!
That pot looks like the one I used to use to clean my father's brushes in 65 years ago. Man, they had to be clean too. Can you imagine paying $25 for a brush in 1950?
To cut plastic and that kind of plastic turn the blade around so the blade cuts backwards. That way you don’t crack the crack, the plastic and it cuts. Nice and smooth. It also works on vinyl siding that’s why I always did that. Just a heads work for me if you don’t believe me try it on a piece of plastic before you do it did anything else OK heads up buddy this is from Massachusetts. This is big Al for Massachusetts and have a good day gentleman

Are you going to sheath the underside or leave it open?

@mrfochs Thanks, I never thought of that! But I do more attics/insulation work and kitchen then decks.
That's a good idea, Man
The conversations these guys have is hilarious. It's like watching a sitcom.😂😂😂
Job sites are always fun. It's a global thing. Same in my country
Who wouldn't love to have Arlo and Tom Silva on your project.
Arlo
Yours Sincerely
That's right Sonny

The new deck looks so much better and quite high end as well. Congrats you guys.
I was just starting my own comment to say the exact thing and then saw yours.
Dito 😂😂
Came here for this thread
It isn't a finished edge (it is covered), so no reason to dull a chamfer plane on it.
@@tscoffey1 that was never a valid excuse for our favorite builder.
Y’all need a box truck set up with all your tools, hardware, etc. you could even add a microwave and refrigerator with solar power and if done right.. could power all your needs to build a home.
You are so sweet to let Jaime talk.
Jamie is a fantastic personality and work ethic! I would love to build a house with him… or anything honestly
He'd drive the normal guy nuts!😵💫
For those post covers, line the bottom of the circular saw plate with masking tape or tuck tape and it wont mark up the post covers.
Exactly. The solution is that simple.
They aren't that smart if you can tell..
Do it all the time.
I certainly enjoy watching your videos. The pride in workmanship is impressive. Thanks for letting Jaime talk more. He is knowledgeable and very entertaining. I thoroughly enjoy watching him.

I was thinking the same. Pretty sure there is no slope.

nice job, im surprised that they didnt want the decking underneath covered
When JP says. “It’s perfect.” I’m celebrating for you.

How to tell a good carpenter, by how well he fixes his mistakes. The struggle is real!
Excellent finished project Extra details made it happen.Stairs A+
Another great video and project. Something you may want to use - Titan deck post anchors. They secure the post easily. It may save you time.
It's the fine points that are addressed that make your work phenomenal.
Pro tip: What’s to stop the bugs coming up the gaps of the decking? Screen under the planks. Love you guys really though!!
Dear Erik. If you use a pro-go, please hold your head still. I am getting seasick😂 Great job! Much love from the Netherlands❤

The cool crew at it again .. lovely job brothers first class ..that drill pit Jamie came up with smoken hot ideas patton it , b4 someone else does.. ❤

15:55 That bracket is strong enough to bolt a car to the side of the house. Finished product looks very good guys. WELL DONE!

Surprised Jamie didn't use his plane on the posts that he used on the front porch .
@@randygoodenough3422 Yeah, I forgot about that.

Love your videos. They actually show what goes on to just about everyone's jobsites when dealing with everyday issues or not so everyday issues.
This project turned out awesome guys, what a transformation! Well done!

I honestly learn so much from the passion talks about detail carpentry Jamie does.

The Repair from Tweener Projekt go in the Finaly Time. The Team give the best and to last is the Sight perfect 👌
You guys have done an awesome job on this house, that is one beautiful creation the materials that you used just made it look perfect
20:51 jamie put 1 or 2 layer of painters tape on the base of the aluminum/magnesium plate, some saw come with plastic selves when you first buy them for this reason to protect the material
dude that's a beautiful professional job right there. It's amazing how much it changed with the post covers and the stain!
nice...another great job. thanks for the experience to watch ,reminds me of the good ole days
Super nice & Mega clean lines!! My remodeler OCD approves!! 😆🤣😂 Congrats on another great video and side hustle.
What a great job! You guys do excellent work!!
Amazing! You guys make building work look easy and fun.. It's the fine points that are addressed that make your work phenomenal..
Damn... That's one awesome deck. Great work guys!
Hmmmmm. Screened in but no screen door? Coming later I hope in a Twenner video from Perkins Builders.
I would have used Westbury aluminum railing 6" white posts and Tuscany black railing with drinkrail adapter. All powder coated aluminum and has a built in plumbing feature in the posts as well.
Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
The rails and the white posts look astheticaly pleasing
16:30 - "You see the name on the truck, right?" 😂
100,000 years from now when all artifacts of humanity are gone from the planet those front-porch stairs will still be there.
Nice job you really pay attention to finishing details, I am sure your clients are pleased. Ray
It looks great! Great method to get to maintenance free. I know what to do when comes time to refinish my parents deck!
Easier to get the wobble out of your deck post if you have access to the underside you can build the strructure accordingly, and then run your fasteners straight up from the bottom. Keeping them close to the edge of the post. When you run the fasteners down from the top at an angle, they all end up in the center down at the structure, which gives very little stability.
Try a Magic Eraser on those scuff marks. Try it in an area that will be hidden first, but it might be the trick!
I would use the turkey saw and get some blue tape for the bottom of the saw to keep from marking up those post covers.
Great job, guys! Love the new, sturdier, and modern look!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jamie needs to patent that drill bit used on that post. Awesome!!!
I use an adjustable steel base plate to attach deck posts. Jami should be able to make a base plate with his metal working ability.
Keep talk'n Arlo!!!!! This happens to us engineer's too when designing stuff.
Those seat covers are swanky! Love the video guys. Very relatable. ❤
Amazing transformation.
Well done.
God bless.
Great entertainment chaps - Try a 125mm angle grinder with a 1.5mm metal blade next time for cutting the PVC post covers I use this for most poly products cutting also would a small radius on the posts that matches the internal radius of the PVC covers make sliding them on easier?
To use circular saw on the pvc post sleeve all you have to do is line the bottom of the saw with painter tape to prevent the scoff mark
Our 2x6 is 48x148mm and our decking boards are 28x120mm. So my rise is 148, a board on top as the step + a board to close the gap on the rise. The nose needs to overhang a bit, 28mm+10 or so. So 120x3 is 360mm ~40mm is 320mm step depth, 148mm rise. Just cut and stack 2x6😁
First class baby! Nice work guys!!
I love watching your videos. I look forward to seeing what you do next. You are all so professional. I just wish you were in my area. Expert work
I made it, guys!! I have been busy today, but I am here!!
Quality work and craftmanship!
Great reno. Good job. Now I can't wait to see what you do next.
❤❤❤ love the deck and front porch. Your crew are pros and have fun doing the jobs.

It's weird to see him.without the beard
You guys are killing it lately
Thanks for all the great content
Cover base of skilsaw with painter's tape.
Great work guys@
What I like in this house, is the deep entrance porch.
I would've liked to see Erik pull out the chainsaw to cut the Fairway railings...that would've been great! 😂
Oh my gosh I love you guys. I shared your videos with my husband trying to get him motivated….. it hasn’t worked yet😳. Wow the final product looks amazing. Good job guys.
Great job as always guys, fun to watch. Stunning results.
What’s to stop the bugs coming up the gaps of the decking? Screen under the planks.
Awesome job guys! Screened in area is a great idea. On to the next one. 😊❤👍
Very nice deck, and great tips on cutting those sleeves. I may have missed it but did you install netting under the deck boards to prevent mosquitos from entering the screened-in area? Those little pests are clever!
Gotta love Arlo, i hope i have his wisdom when i'm older.
The new truck is looking good! 💪😎
That turned out beautiful! Great job once again guys!
That pot looks like the one I used to use to clean my father's brushes in 65 years ago. Man, they had to be clean too. Can you imagine paying $25 for a brush in 1950?
Jamie, the new hat looks great😊
Fyi, no background music needed.
I can’t believe in the year 2023 you cowboys are still setting those timber treads directly onto concrete.
i was afraid the posts would look different from the old and the new but that stain covered it all. It looks great fellas!!!!
Wow, such an improvement. Good job guys.
Tape the bottom of your saw when cutting those magnesium caps! “Frog Tape” , saver of material !
Love these tweener projects, in part because I can see myself doing these where my wife isn’t likely to let me build another house 😂
That looks beautiful!! Great work! It will last forever 👍🏼
Put a light blanket or shirt down on the chop saw, then lie the sleeves down on that.
I put tyvek tape on the bottom of my saw when I cut those sleeves works great
Always a good show to watch and get useful information!
