It's 4:30 am
I have no plans to build a deck in the next 10 years
I don't have a pool
Watched the entire video!!
If I needed a deck built this is the guy I'd want to build it.
Brush off the haters bud. Thats the most professional install I've ever seen. I wish I could find a contractor to do work like that. Well done 👏
Love using Trex, all screwed from the underside so no holes or visible screws, highly flexible so you can pattern it to a degree, also I slotted it and installed frosted glass panels instead of railings, absolutely beautiful!!
That little clip of you falling in the hole was a nice touch, I tip my hat to you sir.
Gotta say one thing I enjoyed when we moved as a kid was building a new deck at out new home. I really can't wait to get a house and be able to put up a deck. I love the design on this.
I love that this was released in 2020, 14th of October and its now, today 04.04.2021 that this video is getting all the attention it deserves. Love the video!
Anyone who has ever looked down on a tradesman - these people are geniuses. this is a SCIENCE in itself.
This video explained everything and was set up perfectly. As a new carpenter I’ve been watching so much CZcams but the quality and direction of your vids is honest and easy to follow and to the point. Love it. Thank you sir
the gunfire sound effects he added at 12:20 lmao i was confused for a second thinking i had another video playing in a different tab 😂
Not gonna lie. I watched the ferret run into the wall like 20 times and you falling into the hole about the same. Awesome project!
Mink*
After all that, in retrospect I think it'd been easier to just dig the pool in the ground haha
To be fair, no grass or dirt directly near it, it would be harder for debris on the ground to get in it.
I think that too
I would get a real inground pool first. Then make a deck around it. Who knows how long this pool holds.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
Deck around an above ground pool? Spinners on a Honda
I just dedicated 17 minutes of my life to watch this video. Time well spent.
I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I loved the video!
This is so satisfying to watch. Everything just lines up so perfectly. 👌
I work in outside sales for 84 Lumber Company and I have to say the amount of extra details I see go into your work versus other contractors I've seen before is truly professional grade work. Nice work sir. I especially appreciate how you used tar around your posts.
Wow, thank you for the nice words. I used to go to 84 to get all the treated lumber. But they closed the Erie,Pa branch down.
One of my best memories as a kid was helping my dad build a huge deck that went completely around a friends deck.
Nice to see you back on the air!
Craig, beautiful work! Bought a pool and have been searching the interwebs for two-tiered deck ideas. This is a goldmine! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
great job using the concealed hangers. Most people dont know about them
This guy is a god damn champion. A true American hero!
I really wish I would've seen this video a lot sooner, I've been helping my uncle build a deck similar to this one and neither one of us really knew what we were doing so we just winged most of it. Could've used a lot of these framing tricks to make the job go a lot quicker
I know nothing about building, but I really enjoyed watching the build progress! It looks awesome!
This makes me miss my framing days. Stuck in a truck too often now. Great video!
4ft down!? That code is nuts. I could see if you were building a house on it but for deck… dang
So insane
Excellent work. I am doing a Trex deck around a swim spa and you make it look easy brother😄 The intricate part is building the access panel for service and maintenance I want it to tie into the deck and hopefully 🙏 without the panel weighing 200 pounds
Me in 2020: This is a really cool, well informed video.
Me in 2021: God damn! Imagine how much that cost in wood!?!
was looking for a comment like this
i work at home depot, can confirm, wood is expensive
I love the positivity in the criticism all-in-one video going along the allowance of the finest education while working by yourself and understanding how to complete a project by yourself this is a perfect example of having the perfect education enough experience and the power of understanding how to use power tools you are definitely somebody that deserves a type of message like I'm leaving now much-loved much respect my good friend thank you and thank you by the way for all the information that you have given me and I thought I was good LOL😂👊🇮🇹👊
Craig you’ve been missed. Still watch your old videos from time to time and I always learn something new. Your content is the best.
you make it look so easy
I’m a interior exterior remodelor that includes decks and pretty much everything I’m very impressed your bad ass brother
You are a mastercraftsman..... A lost art! Your work is absolutely stunning.
Interesting to see you Americans nail everything in such constructions and not screw it together. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up your great work!
well if there is ever a tornado, hide under the deck!
After so many months..good having u back
I like your work! greetings from a German carpenter
Im German / Irish Thanks for watching over there
I love building so much I watch videos like this on the weekend lmao
Beautiful craftsmanship. I look forward to watching the rest!
Glad to see another project! I wish I had a contractor down here in GA. like you to do the work I need done.
Great job. I have a similar house/backyard configuration and I was looking for something like this for my yard. This is awesome, I think I can do this. Thank you very much!!
Wish this dude would post more videos
How could he? This shit probably took him a month
Beautiful work if not overkill. As many hangers as you install, may I recommend a pneumatic palm nailer? As a former general contractor w/20 years in the business, I can tell you it's a life saver! Keep up the good work!
This dude is a BEAST!
Hello my friend, I miss watching your videos, for a long time they were my source of inspiration ... Big hug and congratulations for the work
Thanks so much!!! I love the pictures you post on Facebook
@@Deckbuilding Tanks my teacher
Your in Brazil, do they have Trex composite decking, rails and lattice at the lumber yards ?
@11:39 You covered a dutch saying..... " If you dig a hole for someone.... you fall in to it yourself" translated that would be about... What goes around comes around.
Great to see you back Craig
I love seeing the concrete mixed in holes.. it always get the best mix.. as apposed to like bins or a mixer that can save time and is made for it Shrugs.. people love doing things the hard way,.
This man gotta be rich!!! Flaunting all that wood around like that. Like he's just tossing gold around. Must be nice.
Video was made prior to wood price increase
Great framing! Have a pool deck similar set up this spring. Only issues is with burying the posts in the ground below grade. Different codes different places. Still great work
Wow, I’m astonished great job looks amazing
amazing that this is a one man operation. super impressed.
I did have some help digging the holes
3:17 for the weasel
Jeez those are some Hella deep holes for a deck
in US everything is nailed, unimaginable here in Germany. Great job and looks great. I have the same pool size.
Best construction video!! Exact speed and clear explained.
even tho the poles are sitting only surrounded with dirt this pool deck still looks stronger then the actual house
I worked with a rented augur once to help drill holes for a new fence, except it didn't work when we tried to use it. So we took it back, and when we got at the rental shop and the worker tried it, it started working. So we took it back to the fence and once more it stopped working. So we did it by hand 😂
LOL who has not fallen into a hole they dug a time or two! Great video, thanks!
Having a few drinks, getting ideas from your great video... you had me thinking I was hearing things at 12:22.
Ratatata. Asmr
this guy make it look EASY...
bc it is....hahahahahahaha
*all that lumber you need to be a millionaire to afford this deck right now*
????????????????
Lmao this is building on a budget would never recommend using trash timber for a client
Why didn't you fill you footers with concrete completely? I've never seen anyone just use a 60LB bag below frost line before. Truly curious
I think It’s smart. That way you have a solid and flat foundation. You can place any set the post location AFTER you frame up some of the joists to perfectly dial it in. The posts will never sink downward, and the backfilled dirt will keep the posts from shifting side to side. Smart.
because he doesn't know what he's doing
the area this is in might not require it, but do where i live cause shit moves.
Excellent work. That deck will last a lifetime.
Glad I’m not the only one that fell in a footing hole during my deck build. Lol
Thank you!! And I’m so glad you’re okay!
The man is back!
why are we all here now and not 6 months ago?
Because most people build decks starting in the spring and through summer. So they race to the CZcams to see how i build em.
Glad you back
Man... u make it look too easy. Nice work.
american houses are so simple .. i wondering evertime how they even last more than 10 years >D greatings from germany
Oh Ich dachte ich wäre der einzige Deutsche hier. Und die Wände sind auf fucking Plastik, das ist Ekelhaft.
1 nuke and tiny Germany is gone
You probably serve hitler
American homes and decks last decades upon decades. Alittle bit of light maintenance over the years and it’s good as new
@@MrLLBLLB Yeah it's a stereotype, lots of new builds are amazing quality. Just some shitty ones give everyone else a bad wrap :(
Thats sick!
I made notches in my 4x4's for my deck, help support the full load.
This dudes a beast.
Dang that's a nice backyard. Awesome work deck constructors and pool constructors
That ferret ran head first to the house lmao
Smack!
it wasn't a ferret, it was an escaped mink from a nearby mink farm
Is it wrong that my favorite part of the video was the white ferret falling into the hole then crashing head first into the side of the house?
Absolute beautiful job!!!
Wow your videos AND projects always look so good!
Them damn holes got you & the ferret 😂
In my area you must use a saddle hanger support on the footing to the 6x6.
I'm a poor college student who's renting, idk why I'm here watching this but I'm glad I am
it`s so easy to build something like this if you live in the U.S. and your house is made of cardboard
Yeah, but there is a good side to it, houses are cheap! No wonder you have 20s something buying their own houses.
@@Rapha2587 Depends on where you live a lot of places can get expensive
You mad, bro?
Craig, nice deck! Quick question, is there a reason you didn’t pour concrete around posts? Why just the bottom? Thanks!
I just mentioned it on the comments lol,
Measure twice cut once
Why go to the trouble of attaching a ledger to the house? Adding a couple more posts and a beam
is a lot easier. There is no chance of starting a leak.
Obviously the best Part @ 11:39 :)
I won't be able to built it even with martian technology. But it was satisfying to watch!
Did you not concrete the posts? Did I miss that part? It appears you only set them on concrete but didn’t bury them in concrete, just dirt?
Am I correct?
I saw the same thing. I even repeated the part where he said "I laid the post on top of the concrete ". I don't think he didn't buried those post with concrete 😳
I had the same question too! I watched another video and they did the exact same thing, putting the post on top of concrete and then filling with dirt. I don't get why you don't set in concrete lol.
@@ryanowens2016 what kind of Jedi mind tricks are this 🤔? I personally think is wrong. But then again, I don't have a company and I don't have a CZcams channel with thousands of followers lol 😂😆🤣
@@ryanowens2016 because he says if he was to concrete above the frost line it would / could move the deck post by lifting it up when the ground freezes
you left in the fall. props to you. Badass!
-How many nails?
-YES.
Imagine you get hired to change anything on this project.
Looks beautiful though. 👍
Great Job Craig! Love your content!
Noooooooo video is over! Can’t wait for part two
wow, amazing job!!! Greetings from the Dominican Republic
When building this did you consider how your going to replace the liner when it becomes times to do so?
Yes, the corner caps pop off, the top rails come off , replace the liner, reinstall the top rails and caps. The winter pool cover also has a space to slip by. When i built the deck the framing was held back 1/1/2" and the decking was cut 1/2" away from the pool rail and cap . A winter pool cover is a thin cable that will slip right by the 1/2" space and clamp around the pool walls.
4:21 Bad science alert! Please do coat the bottom of the posts because they wick water like a candle wick does to wax to the surface reducing life span. Water wicks up from posts in the ground, it does NOT drain from the bottom of the post as instructed in this video.
Maybe watch it again and see the bottoms are not coated.
Your also kinda late
@@Deckbuilding lol You really didn't read his comment. :)
@@Deckbuilding Maybe read his comment again
czcams.com/video/w_7cdji9_Gk/video.html👍👍
You are a legend
I hope I can reach max level dad like him one day.
11:41... I felt that. I would have done the same exact thing, but probably about 50 times.
😂 50 times is a lot of times to leg a hole
Wow! Nicely done, sir! I've never seen anyone build a multi-level deck by themselves! Kudos! 👍👍😁
the holes got you and the mink.
