Hi- I just watched my video here to make sure it was watchable and caught myself in one mistake- I was saying pull 15 3/4 for layout- I ditzed- that's supposed to be 15 1/4 to 16 3/4 which defines the edges of the next joist. Usually we go with 16 inches after that by hooking the tape on the nail or second joist in and making an X on the far side of each mark to indicate that go are going beyond the mark with the joist or rafter.
Deck is looking superb. Thanks for sharing
Looking good. Thanks for the tape-16" center tip

Thanks, Duncan! Looks great! I always wanted to build a deck, but the layout of my house and yard just doesn't lend itself to that.
