growing up building houses, we always set the string off the end posts with a single 2x4 - 1.5" - then we use another 2x4 to gauge alignment of intermediate posts - much easier than pulling out a tape & measuring 18". we did the same when straightening/bracing walls

This is fantastic. Looks like you knocked out about half the work in the first video. Looking forward to the rest of the series! Finished project looks amazing (as always).

That tape measure is awesome! I"ve never seen one before, but now that I have, I can't believe ALL tape measures aren't marked top AND BOTTOM! Of course, after I get one, it'll probably just end up being one more tool I won't be able to find when I need it... :)

I built a 2-story play structure for my kids last summer that has an elevated deck. I considered using something like joist tape, but I ended up not doing it. However, I used Seal-Once penetrating waterproofing sealer on my joists and also my beams. I used a mix of non-PT yellow pine (for beams) and Douglas Fir for joists. I think the Seal-Once works really well, and I'd recommend it. I do think that joist tape might be more robust to prevent moisture from sitting on top of horizontal wood. However, in my application, I put a roof over my structure. I used clear, corrugated polycarbonate roofing. A little bit of condensation and wind-driven rain might get onto some horizontal members, but the roof over everything keeps out > 95% of the water, and I think this massively extends the lifetime. So I went with penetrating liquid waterproofing wood sealer rather than joist tape because I think joist tape looks kind of ugly when you can see it from below. If you have a rim joist (or is that a band joist?) and you cannot really see the sides of your joists then I think joist tape is a good idea.

Years ago when I first heard about waterproofing membranes, none of the deck builders around me knew about it or would put it in, calling it dumb. I ended up buying it on my own and applying it on in the evenings after they were done framing. I also added hurricane ties.

@jameshalliday412 Год назад

@GumbootZone Год назад

One very important thing you did correctly that should be mentioned, is add a 2x6 to the face of the beam to support the underside of the notched 2x10's. The added piece's are shown in the view at 13:05. When you first slid them in beside the old 2x8's with the underside notched out, I was horrified, because that notch actually makes the 2x10 even WEAKER than the 2x8, unless the bottom is fully supported. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that was done at 13:05 and give you a thumbs up for completing a not-so-obvious but very critical engineering detail.

@MichaelOnines Год назад

The code governing wood design allows an end-bearing notch of up to 1/4 the depth of the joist without reduction in the bending strength for the member. You do have to reduce the shear capacity, but long joists like this are almost always controlled by the bending stress and not by the shear at the ends.

@jamesbeecher4431 10 месяцев назад

that was my thought as I saw her sliding the 8 ends of the 2x10s in alongside the 2x8s. I see she did put a supporting board along the bottom of the 2x10s but it looks like a 2x4 and would prefer the 2x6 or even 8

I love your videos and I just did my own cabinet doors, with pocket screws. Thanks for the encouragement. I spray the posts I set in the ground with automotive rust-proofing. I have no tests proving this is a good idea, I'll let you know in 20 years or so. The self stick looks good too, might try that next time. I've used joist tape since I read about it in Fine Homebuilding, a few years ago, seems like a nice idea and cheap insurance. I figure none of the joists I set in place, ove the years, have really seen any water at all.

Nice quality build, April! As an "old timer" carpenter/builder, There are 2 things I could ad for cost savings. One would be to paint 2 coats of fibered roof paint on the post ends. This will triple the life of the posts, especially here in wet Florida. Another would be to staple 2" strips of tar paper to the tops of the joists. I cut 3' lengths and attach them as the decking progresses so it is easy to reach out. I am amazed at how few builders do this, I think they just don't know about it or care about 10, 20 years down the road. I have torn off face split, rotted, and neglected deck boards to find near new joists protected this way, huge money saver.

@nuancolar7304 Год назад

Nice to see a well-engineered design using notched posts. I see so many deck builders who attach their beams onto posts using lag screws or carriage bolts. That makes for a weak, and dangerous, deck that could fail under heavy loads.

@yodaiam1000 Год назад

It is a nice looking project. I would recommend adding columns mid span of the existing exterior beam. You are doubling the load on the beam with the deck extension. It is also better (required by code in most locations) to use a concrete footing with a pedestal that extents at least 8" above grade. It is okay to bury fence posts but not columns for decks and houses. Big Foot for the footings is a good product for decks like this.

@definitelynotaheretic.7295 Год назад

Yeah I’m not sure how well that shrink stuff will actually work. Unless there’s an adhesive or something that’s making a literal waterproof seal at the top between the wrap and the wood, it’s probably just going to help some, but not much. A better solution would be to put the posts on top of the concrete with a post anchor that gets it off of the column, versus into the concrete underground. But I live in an area with tons of rain, so take that into account lol.

@pizzasaurolophus Год назад

Fantastic deck. Here in Atlantic Canada we're told not to bury posts at all, and also not to tape joists unless the decking boards are composite, as water will pool and rot the decking boards faster.

@saywhat8966 10 месяцев назад

Had same concern about the tape as well. This looks to be in a dry California location?

@mikekellam365 11 месяцев назад

Where you notched your new joist at the "old" carrying beam, I always like to put a 2x4 ledger under the new lumber, nailed to the old beam. This way as the new lumber dries, if it starts to split at the notch, the 2x4 will carry the entire height of the board, and will usually prevent the joist from splitting down it's entire length.

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

@HabitualButtonPusher Год назад

For posts and joists you would never see why not just char them for anti rot and bug infiltration? Nordic countries and Asia have been doing it for thousands of years with many structures still standing. Save a lot of time versus tape and sleeves especially as you already have the propane burner. Maybe try it on a smaller future project?

@Delphisteve 11 месяцев назад

Joist spacing depends on the material your using.. We use Azek and we put them 14" on center. Also, the first time someone falls off your deck and breaks their neck because it had no rail, your golf days will be over. The 6x6 posts need to have a solid concrete base to sit on instead of gravel.

Get it? You advocated for keeping the joists and decking DRY, to which I accurately stated that snow and/or ice can certainly sit in the gaps on the joists. In climates such as that, keeping that space dry is highly improbable in the winter months, which is contrary to your dryness hypothesis. I didn't say that the tape is a necessity, but that it is a good idea.

Ive got to the point were I no longer want to (or have to) go back and step over, climb between, or duck under my joists. I simply set my outer 2 joists, confirm the structure will be square, then mark and remove the nearest joist where my material is staged. I then hang, cut and add mid-span blocking (which you apparently dont feel necessary), hurricane tie and add joist tape (if your so inclined). Ive found this to be the most efficient and where I'm at in the NW (rain, mud, snow, etc.) Im not exerting extra energy by having to go back and for multiple times. Also, on cantilevered decks, i find it best to leave the joist ends uncut until I've decked out to the last board or two. Then measure (compensating for the width of the rim joist, fascia and overhang). This way i can start at the house and never have to rip a deck board.
