Covering an existing deck on a house we built! 

Would you and your crew be willing to rebuild my deck in Colorado?? I have a grandson on the way, and I have to have it rebuilt by next summer. It's 850 sq. ft. We have 3 spare rooms plus a 2nd kitchen. I'm not sure if my back can handle it if I do it myself. My budget is $50,000. I'm serious about this. I have videos on my channel showing the existing deck.

Hi..sir

Jesus... how poor is the mileage on vehicles in the US? I can easily get 600 miles on a single tank.

@@-_James_- i mean this is a big vehicle thats definitely older and they haul on country roads with large elevation changes. plus it depends on your cars gas tank, I average 30 MPG but my car only has a range of about 300 miles because its a smaller gas tank.

@@daniel.s8126 there are a dozen issues that can be causing the problem, and you can’t tell me that you don’t have any problems or projects even ones they “should” be easy that you haven’t been done.

@@CaptainBlueTech Fair enough. Google's calculator suggests I get around 38-44MPG (depending on where I'm driving) with a 17.17 (US) gallon tank.

@@-_James_- Cars in the US I would say get on average 20-30 MPG, Gas here even when expensive tends to be cheaper than alot of places so there's not as much demand for the 40+ MPG cars though they do exist. Plus with how much we are in our cars and how much we do with them people tend to focus more on its capabilities and comforts over its MPG, if MPG is important to someone they go for electric or one of the 40+ cars. A big part of the issue is the US Cafe standards, they are standards meant to make cars more fuel efficient however there's a provision that says the bigger the car is the worse gas mileage its allowed to get so they just make the cars slightly bigger every year and they dont have to make drastic changes in fuel economy; Also why our trucks are huge now and car manufactures cant sell many cheap fuel efficient vehicles because they aren't quite fuel efficient enough to pass the standards for their size.

Good man...USA built... Love it..... JJ...😅

I think they build this house way before they started this youtube channel

I would love to see this build and the plan drawings. Perfect for my dream house build.

This house was the "Nantahala Retreat", there was a whole series for it, plus a 2 hour compilation video of the complete build

Haha, but we are talking about Jason here. Concerned but unsure about his range. Miscalculated and here we have it. 🤣 Not judging, I miscalculated the ability of one of my former vehicles and stupidly trashed the rear differental. It took a trip to a salvage yard to buy a whole new rear axle to make to roadworthy again😒In a totally different vehicle after stretching it about 225 miles ending in East central KY, I ended up coasting in neutral down every hill in neutral possible after trying to make it to a gas station just to fill up the tank in my Jeep cause it was screaming at me via the gage and warning light I had no fuel left. No co-workers to bail you out. Tense I tell ya...... I plan a little diffrently now...

My first vehicle was a 1960 VW Bus and it didn't have a gas gauge at all. I kept a little notebook and pen on the passenger side under dash shelf that served as a glove box in which I entered every single gallon of gas I bought and what my odometer mileage was at the time I added gas to the tank. In doing this, I was able to figure out my average MPG. I'd multiply how many gallons of gas I had bought by my MPG to figure out how many miles I could drive before having to put more gas in the bus, then would add that number to my current odometer reading. It wasn't a perfect system, as I ran out of gas many times, but I did have a manually operated reserve tank that saved my ass more than once. Running out of gas in the middle of nowhere, or miles from a gas station, is an inconvenience sure, but can also lead to some very interesting and fun adventures (as I found out, more than once). Can also be very dangerous...I was very lucky never to have experienced any danger as a female driver alone in the middle of nowhere in the middle of a stormy night who was also on foot, out of gas and away from my vehicle. Times were maybe safer then, I don't know.

reset the trip odometer to 0 at each full fueling

@@TheRealPlato no trip odometer in the 1960 VW

There's tons of rich snowbirds buying vacation and retirement properties in western nc, especially near Asheville
