- Of all of the spaces I'm most excited about having in my house, the backyard climbs to the top of the list. I am SO excited to be starting our DIY deck makeover and finally creating a space that we can enjoy outdoors! In this part of this project, I'm tackling deck demo, refinishing, and rebuilding the bottom of the deck. And, I was able to do it all by myself thanks to the deck sander and pressure washer I was able to rent from The Home Depot Rental!
This project is sponsored by my amazing friends at The Home Depot Rental!

Hey friends! Sorry in advance -- wrestling with some audio issues in this video 😫. If you're listening with earbuds, please use both of them! Some of the audio seems to only be coming out of one speaker. Working on fixing this for the next one.
Thanks for being so patient with me and for all of the support! See you so soon with part 2! 💓
For you, anything🇮🇹
Ugh I’ve had this same problem before. Sh* happens!
Hey Sam! Would you mind sharing the exterior paint color of your home. As always, thanks for the tutorial. Thank you!
I used to feel so bad when I heard the stories of all the work your dad made you do when you were a teenager... But the fact you're so energetic as to finish a job like this goes to show how much it really pays off!!!
can you imagine getting back from work and your girl has demo'd and refinished your deck all by herself !
Hahah. Yesss! I legit thought the same, but these were all nailed in too well! 😭
For real, the first time we did it, it took 2 days. From then on we’ve rented a floor sander from Home Depot (a square sheet sander) and it takes about 2 hours for an 800 sqft deck.
OK, so, clearly I wrote that very early on in the video, the one we rented is kind of similar but I feel like the pads were twice the size. Also, our deck is stained, not painted.
I've never been a big fan of decks, mostly because I grew up in the 70s and 80s, helping my Dad (who was a carpenter in summers, since he was a teacher during the school year) build decks, and they all kind of looked like your first deck. Lattice, very country kitsch kind of details, but this deck is so modern and so sleek that I now see it's a style thing to me, and not just an, "I hate decks," thing. Lovely work!

Hugs!
This is exactly what I was about to search for and boom, right in my subscriptions feed. 🙂
I like your design choices, Sam. The lattice had to go. It has a nice nostalgic look that belongs in coastal areas, but it looks rickety and untidy after a while. The revised deck looks solid and durable.
Sam, I had PTSD seeing that LOL. My wife and I had to gut part of our deck since the posts were dumped on railroad ties -> can't imagine why that was a bad idea. So we basically had to tear it all down and rebuild. It was exhausting so I feel for you. Great work. Now contact Vans and tell them they need to sponsor you! :)
Oh nooo! It is such a MAJOR project!
And, right!? A girl can dreammm…
Don't fuss,just adjust!!! Have a great weekend Sam..
What a Massive Improvement!! I thought I liked the lattice until you replaced it lol. It's currently 1:34am and I've been watching your videos pretty much all day. I was going to go to sleep after this one but now I absolutely have to watch part 2 first!! Fabulous job Sam!!
Excellent job. I don’t know too many people that could have taken on that project alone and to do it in approximately 5 days🤯 you are very talented❣️
Welcome to the world of there's not enough time in the day but also i wanna take a nap and avoid everything
Sam, that deck is gorgeous so far. You are doing an amazing job so far! I love the progress, I'm excited for the next video!🥰
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to share the reveal! 💓
This is Beautiful Example of A Lone Girl Remodeling & Building Deck Soooooooooo Beautiful Way 🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
Also This Deck Building Video like "Try Not To Tired" 😭😭😭🥵🥵🥵
From one LI er to another, well done! Looks great
Thanks, neighbor!
Ohhh..is the helping hands from “Oh Canada”🇨🇦😂😂😂
Stunning results and a lot of hard work. Congrats Sam! You keep surpassing yourself and amaze all of us. I can’t wait to see part 2.
Thank you! Can’t wait to share!
You're an absolute trojan worker. Unbelieveable. Such a huge undertaking on your own and fair play to you girl, you did a brilliant job. The deck is looking amazing and the new stairs and the surround is fabulous. Himself won't believe the changes when he gets back. You've earned a huge chunk of R&R now. Looking forward to seeing the next part. You're such an inspiration Sam.
Thank you for all of the love! 😭 This has been a tough one, but sooo rewarding!
@@diyhuntress Absolutely tough. And a fabulous space to relax and enjoy.
Great job Sam! You are a badass warrior woman.
😍😍😍
You’re just brilliant 👏🇦🇺
Noo - but, you’re the best!
Well done 👍😎
Thank you!
That little Ryobi power washer works great and doesn't take up much space. I love mine.
So funny - I literally bought one as soon as I was done with this project. 🤣
Love the wrap on the bottom half! Can't wait to see what special guest helps with the rest!
Your hard work paid off! It’s so much nicer that before. Also, I cannot handle seeing you wear that flannel shirt. It was 106 here yesterday! Lol!!!
Ahaha - we had ONE sub 80 summer night and I was jonesing for a flannel shirt. 🤣
What an amazing person.
You’re a hot mess with power tools, a new deck attached to your own house! Woohoo! 💪🏻👧🏻
The deck looks amazing and it’s not even all done yet! In the CZcams world, that is 😆😍
Ahhh - thank you! So soon! I'm hoping to finish up this weekend so I can share next weekend! Wish me luck!
There you a sweet girl! Just got to you tonight☹️ as always you make me so proud! Have a blessed night may the Lord bless you and keep you🩸❌⭕️❌⭕️🐶 Otis and me~Massachusetts
Aww, thank you! 💓
looking good 😊
Thank you!
Beautiful project. Great ideas💡. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see the end result. I built a deck in Huntington, NY and another one in Hilton Head, SC. It's a lot of work. You are amazing. 🤗
Thank you! Can’t wait to finish it up and share!
Can’t wait to see the entire deck finished and for sure the kitchen!
Ahhhh! So much happening inside that I can’t wait to share!
Top job that! Looking forward to the next video. 😀
Thank you! Can’t wait!
Steel posts with cables connecting them would look rad. Deck looks great
Definitely was a consideration! Will share next weekend!
Love
Thank you! 🥰
Everytime!! I get so Inspired by your creativity, strength and hard work, 💯💯💯💯💯 Amazing ❤️
Thank you, friend! 💓
Awh, your audio was fine.. don’t stress. Just needed to put the volume up at the beginning.. it was absolutely fine and such a great job with the deck 🫶🏼
Thank you!! 💓
You did a super job
Looks awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing darling, realy!!!!!♥️♥️♥️
🥰
Love the style and am definitely going to steal this for the bottom. Can't wait for the top. Thanks for sharing
The deck is going to look great! I'm looking forward to watching you finish it and then take us inside the house. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Can’t wait to stop working outside. 🤣
great job, looks awesome!!! Not an easy undertaking, but you aced it!
It looks great!
This deck is awesome 🤩. You did your thang with this project.
Thank you! 😭
What a great difference, it looks really modern and cool!👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Wow, deck looks great! Very cool idea to modernize the look.
looks great and way better than before. would it be worth putting a door under your deck for lots of storage space? just a thought x.
I’m hoping to not store anything under there only cause we’re adding back the outdoor shower, but definitely keeping an access on the side of the deck!
Yo solo me imagino lo Satisfactorio que es cuando uno ase las cosas por uno mismo,,, felicidades
Good job, Sam! Wow, that was a lot of work. Part 1 of the deck makeover looks great. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! So much work, but so worth it!
Awesome 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
HELLO , YOU DID THAT. IT'S GORGEOUS; WOMEN POWER ! AND STAY BLESSED
Special person to help...is it Danie?!
Awesome job, Sam!!
Thank you!
Sam, what's this nonsense I keep hearing about bad audio?? Sounded good to me Homie!! Great job all around. You already know the side skirts topped it off. Not sure if you know but there's companies out there that will make you powder coated metal stair risers. I could 100% see you using those on this deck with some insane wood for treads. You can have as many made as you want to widen stairs as much as you ant. Hoping all is well Kid, Dirty Jersey out!!
Fantastic!
😍😍😍
Great video. What a ton of work.Looks fabulous! Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thanks, friend!
Incredible work! It looks beautiful!
Thank you!
It looks great, can't wait to see the next part!
Thank you! So soon!
Love the new look of the deck! The pressure washer you rented wasn’t powerful enough for the job. There was an MTM pressure washer in in of the Home Depot clips that would have worked so much better.
Soooo I did the same thing with the deck on the house I just bought. I wanted semi transparent stain so bad that I sat and used and angle grinder on all of the boards definitely the fastest way I found to get the paint up and worth it! So stoked to see your finished deck 😍
You’re a CHAMP! It was way too hot and I did not have the patience for that. Share some of your work ethic with me please. 🤩
Nice job...love the way you finished the bottom of the deck.
Can't wait to see it finished.
Home Depot only twice in one day.... amateur. I'm sure we've gone at least 4 times in a day !
🤣🤣🤣
This was a good day. 🤣
Looks great Sam! What a big project!
Thank you! I’m tired. 🤣
Fabulous
Looking great, Sam. I bet the finished project will be amazing!
Bill
Thanks, Bill! Can’t wait to share!
I love your renovation!!! Beautiful 👏👏👏
Thank you! 💓
@@diyhuntress 🥰
Your work looks great, big improvement. Excited to see the rest!
Thank you! So stoked!
Came across your video and really enjoyed it! Great job. It really looks nice.
It looks amazing 🤩
It does look great, but I would have made the treads deeper so you get that nice lip over the riser. Gives them a bit more depth rather than looking like stacked boxes. But inspires me to look into re-doing the stairs to my front porch. They have been BUGGING me. But I need to decide on what I want to do regarding railing around my front porch. When I ripped them off I was in love with the more open look, but I don’t know. I have decisions to make for SURE.
Great progress on the deck so far Sam. 👏
Thank you!
Sam, the next time you complain about summer and it being too hot and too sunny, I'm gonna fly from County Kerry, Ireland to NY (L. Isl) and give you a piece of my mind in person!!!! 😂 We've had nothing but rain here since Oct 2021.....
Send us rainnn!
Looks amazing so far. Can't wait to see the finished project.
Thank you! Can’t wait to share!
I love the horizontal boards! Great looking design. Curious, with so much rotted wood, did you check the boards under the deck, that holds the deck up? Didn't see that in the video and just to mention that it might have been a better option to place the steps even with the door rather than centered. On the flip side, I really love ❤️ the quality job you did on the deck! It looks great! First time seeing you so definitely subscribing!
Thank you! Yes! I was able to climb under and check it all out - the structure was perfect! We centered the stairs cause the garage is in front of the door. Hard to see I the video, but now the steps open up to our whole yard! 😍
You are a reaI trooper :) I share your enthusiasm for tools. Borrowing is great if you only need certain tools occasionally. I love my Wagners and am happy to be able to use them so often. I'm excited to see the end result. Greetings from Berlin...
Isn’t that sprayer amazing!? 😍
@@diyhuntress At first I only had the small Wagner Sprayer, but in the meantime I've improved. Here in the capital, it's difficult to find craftmen unless you want to wait months, so I started to help myself and lend a hand. I love your videos and your enthusiasm. I wish you a nice summer with not too hot days and that you are able to tackle all your projects.
So much better 😍 Excited for the next one!
Thank you! Trying to hustle and get it done this weekend so I can share next weekend!
@@diyhuntress Take it easy on you, we can wait, although excited 😊 Hope your doing well! Love from Portugal 🥰
Hard work. However, I like the urban European trend you used for the horizontal boards on your deck. I have seen it used on screens or featured walls. In your case, you could plant several things along the side of the deck, which would look nice in contrast to those horizontal boards. I also like that you carried the design to the stairs as well; nice. Oh, you probably can rent a wood steamer to help those warped boards get back into shape; not perfect, but better. Consider yourself privileged for having the Home Depot rental center. Because I live in a border city next to Mexico, our Home Depot has never had a rental center. They are afraid they would lose all the equipment through theft. There may be other rental places, but I don't know of them. For the most part, almost everyone will buy their equipment or borrow it from a true friend. I can't wait to see what you will do with the railings. Rich Blessings
Very nice job on the deck! Lot of hard work, and solid techniques. Plus you always have an enjoyable and informative editing style, composition for your shots, narration, photography, etc. Really pro-level videos!
I think a lot of DIYers would attempt to salvage some parts of a deck that has rotten pieces here and there, given the prohibitive cost of lumber these days, and would find videos demonstrating the right ways to perform such techniques very useful. Taking the steps as an example, if the rot was only on the bottom parts touching and near the ground, and the rest of the steps solid with many years of life left in them, someone should not sacrifice safety thinking they had to replace 'all or nothing' on their own steps, and go longer with the 'nothing' while saving up funds, when leaving the rotted base in place during that time may be an accident waiting to happen. To do that repair, I might 'sister' (i.e., glue and screw) 18" chunks of the same size framing material onto the inside surfaces of those stringers to have solid wood go all the way to the ground again, then cut away the 2-3 inches of rot on the stringer ends and fill in with a patch of the same material fastened to the 'sister' piece.
Anyway, just an idea. Given the economics involved these days, how to correctly repair a partially-weathered or rotted part of a project, versus replacing the whole thing is certainly a timely topic, and I imagine would produce guaranteed views for your most-excellent channel. Regardless if you think there's merit to the idea, I wish you continued success with your channel, and keep up the good work!.
Thanks for all the love! I hear you on the salvaging! I definitely wanted to keep anything that was still intact and save some money for some other parts of the project!
Have you ever thought of using bug screen behind the boards to keep them from nesting under your deck?
Ohh. Haven’t heard of that! Will look into it!
I love this look….I showed it to my husband to maybe give him some motivation (hint hint) but he said he wouldn’t do it like this completely because he needs to have access to under the deck for maintenance, troubleshooting, upkeep, storage of some larger ladders…etc. just a thought.
I actually have access to under the deck from one of the sides! I actually kept a small section open by our AC unit and you can’t see it because I have a small cover around the AC unit. We won’t be storing anything underneath ours because I wanted access to all of the waterlines that are under the deck for the shower and the hose. But, you can totally still do this and create an access point on the side.

looks great. im surprised you haven't painted or stained the shingles around that window to match.
One step at a time. 😅
Good job! Looks great. One little thing. You said you used 12 x 1 boards for the steps but I'm pretty sure those were 12 x 2s. Or else I want to know where you can buy 1" boards that thick!
Just found you on CZcams. Watching this video and I think I missed what kind and color stain you used. Please do tell me😁 and thank you so much!
What spacing did you do between the boards on the skirt?
Next video is Part 2 New Railing and paint sliding gray
Why a pad sander..apposed to drum sander? I've refinished hardwood floors and started with drum
Did you consider replacing the boards with composite boards or something after the paint removal didn’t work? I’d imagine cost was the biggest reason to not do this perhaps? Love the videos on the house reno so far!!!
I did, but the cost was unreal. It ended up working out though! Can’t wait to share!
It looks beautiful! ! What was the outside shower for? Hot tub, pet bathing? Inquiring minds want to know. lol
Hahaha - forgot to mention that! The house came with a hot tub, but we opted not to keep it. We will be putting an outdoor shower back in though once the deck is done!
Did u relocate the outdoor shower or did u eliminate it altogether?
Take a shot every time the word rent or borrow is mentioned by sam
The deck and wrapping boards looks great but I'm wondering whether it was wise to put the bottom boards so close to the ground. Won't they rot or encourage termites?
I used pressure treated wood meant for ground contact.
@@diyhuntress That makes sense LOL
Did you fix the bowing board?
Are you concerned that the base and floor of the deck are also rotted?
Home Depot twice in one day on a weekend? Girl, that’s nothing! Try 4 times; for plumbing! 🤣🤣🤣 Never do plumbing on a Sunday. 😭😭😭
Nice job!
Ahahah - this was a good day!
I'm surprised they didn't put the steps on footers to stop it from absorbing moisture from the ground.
Yeah, I was kind of bummed. All good! Now they’re sitting on a pressure treated footer on stone instead of grass. So, hopefully they’ll last a long time to come!
What crime podcasts do you like to listen to?
True Crime Podcast? Check out Bad People by the BBC!
I'm no expert, but did you read the directions and leave the stripper on long enough? I also would have expected it to work better than that
100%. I even tried two applications.
@@diyhuntress dang that's too bad
You need to find a neighborhood kid and pretend to teach him karate. Show me sand the floor.
🤣🤣🤣
GENIUS.
You do great work.but i would have got rid of the decking .its too hi up .It doesnt look right.in my opinion of course
Lots of audio issues on my end :(
Yeah sadly I can't hear any of the voiceover parts. Looks cool but it's bothering me too much to watch lol. I'll be here for the next one!
Are you listening with only one earbud in? I'm watching back and realizing it sounds like it's only coming out of one speaker? Will have to look into this! Sorry about that!
@@diyhuntress Omg yes lol. My left earbud is broken... that explains it. But I've never had a problem with your videos with one earbud before? I'll try to find another pair of earbuds and rewatch. Thank you!
