    growing up building houses, we always set the string off the end posts with a single 2x4 - 1.5" - then we use another 2x4 to gauge alignment of intermediate posts - much easier than pulling out a tape & measuring 18". we did the same when straightening/bracing walls

    That tape measure is awesome! I"ve never seen one before, but now that I have, I can't believe ALL tape measures aren't marked top AND BOTTOM!
    Of course, after I get one, it'll probably just end up being one more tool I won't be able to find when I need it... :)

  • @clutteredchicagogarage2720

    I built a 2-story play structure for my kids last summer that has an elevated deck. I considered using something like joist tape, but I ended up not doing it. However, I used Seal-Once penetrating waterproofing sealer on my joists and also my beams. I used a mix of non-PT yellow pine (for beams) and Douglas Fir for joists.
    I think the Seal-Once works really well, and I'd recommend it. I do think that joist tape might be more robust to prevent moisture from sitting on top of horizontal wood. However, in my application, I put a roof over my structure. I used clear, corrugated polycarbonate roofing. A little bit of condensation and wind-driven rain might get onto some horizontal members, but the roof over everything keeps out > 95% of the water, and I think this massively extends the lifetime. So I went with penetrating liquid waterproofing wood sealer rather than joist tape because I think joist tape looks kind of ugly when you can see it from below. If you have a rim joist (or is that a band joist?) and you cannot really see the sides of your joists then I think joist tape is a good idea.

  • @jameshalliday412
    @jameshalliday412 Před rokem +3

    Years ago when I first heard about waterproofing membranes, none of the deck builders around me knew about it or would put it in, calling it dumb. I ended up buying it on my own and applying it on in the evenings after they were done framing. I also added hurricane ties.

    I love your videos and I just did my own cabinet doors, with pocket screws. Thanks for the encouragement. I spray the posts I set in the ground with automotive rust-proofing. I have no tests proving this is a good idea, I'll let you know in 20 years or so. The self stick looks good too, might try that next time. I've used joist tape since I read about it in Fine Homebuilding, a few years ago, seems like a nice idea and cheap insurance. I figure none of the joists I set in place, ove the years, have really seen any water at all.

    Nice quality build, April!
    As an "old timer" carpenter/builder, There are 2 things I could ad for cost savings. One would be to paint 2 coats of fibered roof paint on the post ends. This will triple the life of the posts, especially here in wet Florida. Another would be to staple 2" strips of tar paper to the tops of the joists. I cut 3' lengths and attach them as the decking progresses so it is easy to reach out. I am amazed at how few builders do this, I think they just don't know about it or care about 10, 20 years down the road. I have torn off face split, rotted, and neglected deck boards to find near new joists protected this way, huge money saver.

    @yodaiam1000 Před rokem +7

    It is a nice looking project. I would recommend adding columns mid span of the existing exterior beam. You are doubling the load on the beam with the deck extension. It is also better (required by code in most locations) to use a concrete footing with a pedestal that extents at least 8" above grade. It is okay to bury fence posts but not columns for decks and houses. Big Foot for the footings is a good product for decks like this.

  • @GumbootZone
    @GumbootZone Před rokem +10

    One very important thing you did correctly that should be mentioned, is add a 2x6 to the face of the beam to support the underside of the notched 2x10's. The added piece's are shown in the view at 13:05. When you first slid them in beside the old 2x8's with the underside notched out, I was horrified, because that notch actually makes the 2x10 even WEAKER than the 2x8, unless the bottom is fully supported. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that was done at 13:05 and give you a thumbs up for completing a not-so-obvious but very critical engineering detail.

    • @MichaelOnines
      @MichaelOnines Před rokem +5

      The code governing wood design allows an end-bearing notch of up to 1/4 the depth of the joist without reduction in the bending strength for the member. You do have to reduce the shear capacity, but long joists like this are almost always controlled by the bending stress and not by the shear at the ends.

    • @jamesbeecher4431
      @jamesbeecher4431 Před 10 měsíci

      that was my thought as I saw her sliding the 8 ends of the 2x10s in alongside the 2x8s. I see she did put a supporting board along the bottom of the 2x10s but it looks like a 2x4 and would prefer the 2x6 or even 8

      @definitelynotaheretic.7295 Před rokem +1

      Yeah I’m not sure how well that shrink stuff will actually work. Unless there’s an adhesive or something that’s making a literal waterproof seal at the top between the wrap and the wood, it’s probably just going to help some, but not much.
      A better solution would be to put the posts on top of the concrete with a post anchor that gets it off of the column, versus into the concrete underground.
      But I live in an area with tons of rain, so take that into account lol.

    That looks really simple, and yet I doubt I would be able to do it my self ^^

      You definitely need more than one person because of the physical lifting and even holding in place while the other secures it. Thanks for watching.

    Fantastic deck. Here in Atlantic Canada we're told not to bury posts at all, and also not to tape joists unless the decking boards are composite, as water will pool and rot the decking boards faster.

      Had same concern about the tape as well. This looks to be in a dry California location?

    Beautiful work and great video. Thank you so much. I will be hiring someone but I want to know how things should be properly done myself before hiring someone. Your knowledge is much appreciated thank you for sharing.

    Where you notched your new joist at the "old" carrying beam, I always like to put a 2x4 ledger under the new lumber, nailed to the old beam. This way as the new lumber dries, if it starts to split at the notch, the 2x4 will carry the entire height of the board, and will usually prevent the joist from splitting down it's entire length.

    Great video. One of the best ones I’ve seen on this topic. Very clear and to the point. Lots of details that others leave out or bury in their videos. I actually have some questions though. Do I have to use a six by six for my post if my deck is only a few inches off the ground?
