I think we can all agree the true MVP is the dog.
Love the chick who was using her hands to put dirt into the shovel. I sometimes forget that many people spend their life without having ever done manual labor.
This guy was not kidding about being green to building things! Good for him for getting in there and learning something new
There isa reason why we say that Canadians are polite and nice people. This guy is a great example! Thanks for all the awesome tips! :D Great shirt btw! Brazil! :P
Only a few TH-cam presenters can communicate with those of us on the distant side of a camera effectively and with a bit of fun thrown in. It helps to have a fine videographer like Max too. Jeff Thorman does instructional DYI video so very well. Once again...thank you from Utah.
Cheers Cory, Happy to help!
Incredible project and the way you bring out the details it makes it easy to follow.
Nice work. My only suggestion is before you install your top decking is to actually fill in amd tamp around the concrete blocking for your posts. Even completely assembled you could see some moving and twisting. Also I would double or tripple the depth of your lime stone screenings before it is ramped down. I used to use crushed stone mixed with alot of stone dust. The best part of using crushed stone is its ability to lock against each other after being compressed to tamped down from the tamper. Get it all levels and squared into place then come up the sides of the block 2 inches and tamp into place with a piece of 2x4. Keeps it all from twisting. Used this system for instaling large stone work and block work where people wouldnt pay for poured concrete. I just went with more depth of crushed stone and heavy tamping and compression. Mixed with the stone dust it would set up like concrete over time.
WOW! Not only did that deck and pergola come out beautiful. But, that GS dog was just as beautiful! Great job guys!
Great to see Samuel & Audrey, your guys Vietnam/Sapa video was the catalyst for our 4 week tour a few years ago, cheers!
I think you are amazing, I like to do most of my home repairs. You have taught me a lot! I’m a woman, so people don’t think I’m capable! My husband calls me the man of the house! Because I love to do woodwork! What’s funny is that my Career is nowhere near all the stuff I do! I’m a nurse by trade! Thank you so much for all these great videos! Because of these I was able to renovate my bathroom, plumbing and all. Sheetrock tricks. You are great!
Absolutely spot on,,,thank you for taking the time to actually show us. ..thank you
I LOVE to watching this guy because he explain everything, so it’s not hard to learn how to make something if you are interested. Thank you 🙏 🇨🇦
honestly wish i could work with or for you. Calm and a good teacher great stuff
Love the bit about the weather on 56 minutes. Welcome to our world (the UK)! We play the weather lottery every day!
Canadians are a different breed of creature... 😁
Usually like this guys simple explanation on jobs, but he really made a simple job look difficult here!
yup i noticed that too
Jeff knows his DIY videos are my favorite!!!🥳
I admire your works and it helps me allot let's me feel like I can take on any job
I love your A to Z videos! So informative!
I have watched so so many "how to" build a deck videos and got absolutely nothing out of them but intimidation and confusion. Its like they really do want to show you "how to"
You are the Best man!.. Im ready to do this! Thank You!!! .. I'll be writing you in the comments if I have any questions.. I watched your other video 1st. building a ground level deck.. and I'm in at 32:14 on this one. Most Informative, Straight to the point, No B.S.
Thanks again and I'm a Subscriber for life.. Keep up the Great work.
You are John Wick of carpentry. What a pro! Love the work.
Cant wait to watch! Thank you for the upload!
Cheers!

Being Brazilian, I just love it! I have finished my kids bedroom. Next step is the deck. I should you the video and we want to see where we can fin a block. We are just doing the front small deck
Production first for sure, this man is working!
Evolution saws are amazing!
So I watched a ton of your basement finishing videos, and just finished sanding the drywall mud down here. Sitting on my plastic covered couch.
Watching this because I’m building somthing sinilar as next years project! Lol. Thanks for the content.
I love how you say it’s not time to cut corners while painting a cut corner;) 1:05:00ish
LOl, odd isn't it!
I love your choice of woods you use in decking...I am SOOOO in love with the Cedar more than anything!!!! :D
You would love our place. Exposed cedar beams everywhere.
I just started watching this guy's videos while I am stuck at home during this pandemic. I love his humor, easy way of explaining things, and his practicality. He gives the right details that I need. He makes me think that I can actually do it my self (now if he could convince my wife). I also like that his circular saw has that same feature on its cord, and in exactly the same place, as mine. What are the odds.
Just start small if you want to convince your wife. If the small stuff goes well she'll let you do bigger and bigger stuff as you go.
You make it look so easy. I am planning on building my own deck this summer hopefully lol. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
how did it go?
I remember seeing that couple on a travel video!
Absolutely LOVE Togo!! Beautiful dog, and so cute to see him observing you guys..
Anything and everything I can think of I want to do to my new property is in this channel..... lovin it!
I hope it will help me to build the gazebo in my back yard. My main problem is apprehension.
Excellent!! I have learned a lot. Thanks 👍
Wasn't paying attention to intro and had to do a double take when I saw Samuel and Audrey! Didn't know you guys collaborated. lol
I love the video, I have a deck project in the near future. My only criticism would be the sun sail post anchorage being a little too close to the edge of the slab, especially the corner that broke off and was adhesive'd back on - I sure hope that doesn't fail in the future
Totally agree...I give that structure 2 yrs tops.
Hey that Advantage Lumber place is in Sarasota, FL right down the way from us... I had never heard of them until a Canadian TH-camr puts a banner up with that location listed haha go figure... I'm about to build a floating deck as a home for a new hot tub and this is perfect, we're gonna have to check them out this weekend!
great video, I was thinkning of a pergola at the next house and now I'm one step closer. really like the look and function of that hardwood too
Excellent Show/ I watch everyday can never get enough enlightenment & inspiration
Make 2 frames , decide height and screw a piece of wood between corners of frame and ground with off cuts.
You can use folding wedges to make adjustments to the 2nd frame on the uneven slab.
Screw frames together and then you know where all the fixings go. Saves time and you have your measurements.
I'm going to be doing one of these soon I hope! Before summer is over!🤣
I'd love to work with you just for one day.i know I'd learn and I'd be a master by the end of the day.good content my friend,stay safe and I hope to watch many many more of your stuff
Love your new intro. My favorite compliment is: "How do you know how to do all this stuff?"
Didn't like you when the video started but ended up hating that guy you helped out and loving you great video thank you! Your a boss
Enjoy watching your video , you make work fun ! And love the " Laugh"
Deck looks fantastic! I love that German shepherd.
That product placement was so smooth that I might have to go out and buy that saw
Love this channel and it's videos. Have watched so many and learned so much. I HATE to be the safety equipment guy when I know it gets made fun of here. I admire the safety glasses when using the grinder.
But holy shit guys, ear plugs! Even with the battery hand held DeWalt drill, cumulatively that sound will ruin your hearing. The grinder, the circular saw, over and over....bye bye ears.
I'm a sticker for hearing protection. I love music and don't ever want to lose that ability. Those watching at home, but a cheap pair of over ear muffs and it's all good. No need to go overly expensive.
Ear protection is so damn important.. I used a handheld air compressor for about 15 minutes while doing car detailing and didn't wear ear plugs. I've had permanent tinnitus for over 2 years now and regret it every day. Please wear ear protection.. having a constant ringing in your ears will drive you insane.
@@CrackaSource sorry man. I also have tinnitus from military exposure to loud engines. You just don’t think I’m the moment “hey I’ll have trouble hearing later I’m life from this direct moment....”
When I worked for another company we rebuildt a deck over a rolled rubber roof. The new exotic lumber was Ipe and none of us knew anything about Ipe! We attached the deckingwith stainless steel screws and hidden fasteners, and within a couple of screws it became apparent we needed to pre drill every hole as the SS screws were just snapping! The wood was so hard the drill bits were junk after about 20 holes. We also got a qt. of liquid wax which we had no idea what it was for! We found that out soon as the first few boards installed, within 2 days were badly checking and cracking. The wax was for any fresh end cuts! The deck took us about 3weeks longer because of all the drilling and multiple other issues! We also had to make all the railings out of Ipe! We both ended up fired because we took too long!
Hi Jeff, love your videos. Is it possible to do a video on how to and options to DIY sunrooms? Thanks
Yep totally agree, a Brazilian always looks nice.
Great deck and pergola but I hope those sails were temporary. A bit like hanging a bedsheet up as a curtain.
Amazing Job.
Hands down my fav channel. Cheers brother✌️
Cheers Chris!
@32:00 did you ever tie the joists to the bottom beams? Anyone can push the deck from the side and it's moved.
Always love watching the A-Zs!!! You're the Bob Ross of DIY.
He would have to do landscaping to put a happy little tree right over here!
Christ I love watching an expert work. Great video 👌🏼
Thanks 👍
First, love your channel. Some of the most informative of all construction channels.
Then a question, I have a cement patio off the back of my house in the space where I would like to build a raised deck. The patio is in good condition. Would you leave the cement in place and just anchor the legs of the deck to it? Or do I have to break up the patio where the legs of the deck come down and pour in footers?
Thanks in advance.
check your local building code is what you need to go by is what they all say
A true Foreman coffee in hand and shovel to the helper😎
This was awesome! The dog was too cute!
I have learn so much watching your videos
Cheers Maria, Happy to help!
lol, first time enjoyed watching the embedded commercial. :D
Thanks a lot for this complete information.
One question: your deck is all leveled. Should you have a slight slope away from the house for evacuating the rain?
Great job!
Ground slope takes care of that. You have gaps in the decking to deal with water. A sloped deck would look and feel funny unless it was more of a wooden walkway
that's a huge deck. I can't wait to sit on it.
I know the intent was to keep it simple with everyday tooling, but a laser level makes it so much easier to set your heights and worth the investment.
Or you can just get a clear flexible tube and fill it with water.
@@alexfromoz laser levels are cheap nowdays and very useful in pretty much ever project. It is a good investment.
Jeff makes me want to move to Canada! I don’t care which Province or territory!
I love the long coat Gsd!
Genus. You are so good at everything!
Great vid.. Hey can you set your posts right on 18x18x6 blocks instead of the kind you used? My buddy convinced me to get those instead of the ones with premade holes for the 4x4s but now I'm worried they'll all be "floating" (ie free to slide along the blocks)
Love your videos! A question: you dug holes for the concrete blocks in this video, whereas in another video you did not, is there any limitations or codes that have to be followed? Appreciated
the holes were designed to allow the deck to sit on box beams. otherwise everything is attached to rim joists and joist hangers. this way is actually a lot quicker.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY dumb question time. If someone or something bumps into the deck, would the whole thing shift off the box beams?
Luv your vids,learned so much over last 5 yrs 😊,great ideas,great personality
I absolutely love your videos. I may just try a smaller version of that pergola now.
Nice Dulux mixing stick!
Always remember guys to call before you dig! Just in case any gas, water, or electric lines my be hidden underground. Never want to hit those. For your safety and for your pockets as well!
...
How much weed did that new helper smoke this morning Jeff.. Lol
Did you use screws or bolts to attach the inside corner stabilizers? size and length of screws/bolts? What size and length of drill bit did you use to drill the holes on those inside corner stabilizers? Thanks for your great teaching/instruction. Your techniques have helped me in so many projects I almost lose track.
Our home is currently being built (we take possession between January and March) and will come with a tiny deck (think Blue Collar Comedy Tour skit). Instead of paying the builder $6k to build it, it'll be more fun for me to build it and videos like this help. :D
LOL, loving it!
I love your videos. Thank You
hello, I always watch Samuel & Audrey videos. I will do my own pergola.
Go for it!
28:26 "Let's get going" - Jeff imitating Matt Risinger made me laugh far too hard
That blade is amazing! Do you need the evolution saw to use that blade or will the blade work with other saws?
It is a combination of rotations per minute and torque as well as the blade. Cheers!
Can we have a link for the tool and blade please? :)
I so want to build a deck now!
Can you use the adjustable footings (altitude pedestal) you used on the concrete on a rubber roof deck?
I love the perfection of your work. Thank you for all the videos.
Great video!
How did you secure the platform to the Box Beams after?
Where can I get these "Tiles" to make a deck in Texas?
Do the bottom pieces of adjustable brackets for decking system get fastened to the slab at all? Did show that, but I’m assuming the holes in bottom piece is for fasteners to secure to material if need be. Granted, once all fastened & secured to existing deck....really not gonna move, but wondering about other scenarios.
Thx✌🏼
Just finished it. Pretty good. The sails look tacky. But still a decent look
Question. If my deck is only going to be about 6 to 8" off of the ground and I'm using Cemented posts how deep do I need to cement the posts?
check your local building code
Google is good for that kinda thing
10/10 would watch again for the dog...Good advices too!
Thank you for the informative video but it would help me a lot to know the name of all the products and tools used for this project as English is my second language
I like the cord on his circular saw. I've got the same one.
Great video w a lot of comedy. Good job.
Did you say those bolts were good for 1klb shear or tensile? Either way, that seems really low to me. Anyway, since you have shear points on both sides of the post and with two bolts present, your fastening system could take 4klb per post.
This deck could have a car or a couple on it.
Enjoyed the video...especially the dog.
Jeff, question here: Why would you ever choose to use "no contact" lumber for a floating deck? Is it stronger or something? If the price is comparable, it seems like buying "no contact" would be a no brainer with its obvious benefits.
Most likely because most ground contact treated lumber is AC2 which is an ugly green color. The pressure treated lumber matches his nice hardwood panels. Also he’s not technically contacting the ground so he is probably fine here
Gotta love a Brazilian
2:53 i cant tell you how many times a day i feel this on the job site
Togo! Good boy!
Nice job good video like always Jeff 🎼🎺🚣♀️🌅🎺🇵🇷
Cheers Ramon!!!
Ive never watched a video this long
