2 tier deck looks sweet. Nice improv. When you have a party, there can be a vip level, and a level for those who only brought old leftover potato salad. You'll need a bouncer.

Holy Woodness Deckness baby!!!! Everybody loves a nice gap!!! We can never get enough. The deck is looking amazing and you getting a lot of work done by yourself. I think you could probably do a nice landing that turns to a 45° landing from deck to deck should be unique and not too hard to build. Hope you’re learning about solar and wind energy while taking pics and videos of it for work. Thanks for keeping us entertained and keep getting after it.

@christianjacques1635 24 дня назад

If you go from the corner of the lower deck to about 3 feet away from the upper deck, you could make a continuous deck that goes to a staircase to the upper deck and I think that would give you continuity between the 2 spaces. Also, if you’re doing railings, I think, the braided metal going through the posts woodwork all the way around from the lower deck to the upper deck and would look really sharp

The best way to learn is by making mistakes, and learning from those who have made those mistakes already. Making a public record of them is a very brave thing. So, a big "thank you" from those of us who are too chicken to do that, but still get to enjoy your work!

Two big steps. Round on the outside perimeter. You could get away with a couple chairs out on the end maybe. I love your videos. Your personality is awesome. I found it funny you saying you wish you could do construction for a living. I've been in construction my entire adult life (I'm 45) and all I want is out. One recommendation. Get a laser tape measure. They are totally worth it. Also get a green laser. Totally worth it when your alone. I think you should deck the other side as well. For continuity... 😂 Love it. Thank you so much

@RossMalagarie 24 дня назад

Thanks for the content and as a fellow DIY guy I love the ideas. I would have made the deck the same height as the other deck and made a wrap around deck so I could walk on every side of the cabin. It makes it easier to work on the sides of the cabin and makes it easier to find the breeze and shade. But its not my cabin its your cabin so I know you will love it.

At 4:25 , paint that end grain to keep water out. The floor beams look like three 2x12 sistered together. There is not much sitting on the 6x6 post, take some paint and coat the end grain on all of those built up floor beams, both ends. And protect the beams from wicking in water and rot starting.

@WoodnessGoodness 24 дня назад

Hahahahahha fingers crossed! It’s doubled up so I figured it toils be sufficient?

@jwk1338 24 дня назад

Great idea for the low deck! My only suggestion is: because your ledger is not a true ledger (it's not attached to the rim joist with lag bolts every 8") you should add a support from the "ledger" to the pier. This could just be a 2 X 6 that is sistered to the post between the pier and the ledger. Right now, all of the weight is carried by the GRK screws, which don't have a lot of sheer strength. Love the build, take your time and enjoy the process! We will keep watching!

@WoodnessGoodness 24 дня назад

@crtzmo 25 дней назад

Great idea for the lowered deck -- nice! Three deep steps will be really useful to connect the two decks and be useful built-in impromptu seating. Isn't that corner of the deck the closest to the outhouse? A clear way off the deck in that direction will be appreciated when you're heading that way in the dark of night.

@frankensteinracing3520 23 дня назад

Looks good but I liked the original idea better. That said it’s not my cabin so as long as you and the family like it that’s the most important thing. For the tiers down to the lower deck I’d go with your idea large steps. 6 foot or so each. But pattern the deck boards on a 45 or try something different. Checkerboard. Something unique give it that woodness goodness flair.

Graeme, if you have to trim back that blackberry bush, make sure you only trim back the parts that had fruit on them, because those parts will not come back the next year. Leave the newer parts that don't have fruit on them, those are the ones that will make fruit next year.

Why a lower deck? And please put at least one bolt through the ledger board to hold it to the foundations. Two screws won't carry that weight.

@jonathanblackman3046 25 дней назад

I like the platform tiered stairs option for that section. That is a great idea you had!

@koningbolo4700 24 дня назад

29:40 I would do two platforms in angles. First one (one step down) coming of the side deck which has an edge under an angle of 30 degrees (or thereabouts), the second step down coming of the first one under an angle of 60 degrees and the rest would be flush with the large front deck... I could be wrong but it looks to me the height difference is good for two steps between the side deck and the lower one. If it turns out to be better to do three steps the do three angles platforms/steps under the angles of 22.5, 45, 67.5 degrees. Angled platforms/steps looks great...IMHO... You could do the angles originating from one point (possibly the (south-east??) corner of the cabin but you could also do various originating points...

@WoodnessGoodness 24 дня назад

Love it. I’m going to see if this could work. I think there’s room for 3 stairs

@koningbolo4700 24 дня назад

you can also play with the angles and have maybe one of the steps parallel to the edge of the upper deck... You should keep in mind though that different levels and different angles could pose a safety issue. If you like it to be kid and geriatric safe You could do one platform halfway between the top en bottom deck (just as if it were one giant step down) and have smaller steps to bridge the rather large drop off. These steps are best located near/at the corner of the cabin (so the cabin can act as a hand hold for those in need of one. This design would result in actually 4 rather shallow steps down and one large intermediate deck to enjoy (call that deck the BBQ/fire pit deck if you will) This idea would suit the lay of the land best also and be least complicated to build and most safe to enjoy.

My biggest regret is not having side decks on my little cabin right from the beginning, so the next thing I build (if it’s high off the ground and on a slope) is gonna have side decks from the beginning!
