You should use an impact driver to screw in the long screws, your drill will burn out if you use it to drive screws. Drills are for drilling, impact drivers are for driving screws.
@@Cheeseboy737 that’s a great note! I think we were concerned that’d we’d drive the screws too quickly into the frame and need to do some adjustments. The irony is we do have an impact driver. Haha. We used it for some framing purposes. We are such novices when it comes to the best tools to use. Thanks for stopping by!! We love the feedback!!
Thanks for the video. We’re right in the middle of our remodel. It includes an IPE deck. Looking for a cable rail system. What model rail system did you buy from Cable Bullet. Planning to call them next week. Thanks and great video. 6:14
Hi Ron! I love that we're on the same journey together! How's the remodel going? In terms of the series, we used Signature Series in "midnight" and ours is a Fascia Mounted (i.e. the posts are mounted on the outside of the deck and not on top). Midnight means black hardware and black cable. Do you know if you want to do a Fascia Mounted Post or Top Mounted Post? Tell them we sent you!
I’m not sure on how we plan to bolt on the posts. We’re fastening the IPE deck boards from below. Not crazy about putting holes in the IPE deck boards. We are also using IPE on the face boards too. So, it’s going to have to go thru one way or another. I like the idea of using IPE for the top plate. I’ll definitely mention you two. Thanks for the info.
@ronmillstein gotcha! As you know, ipe is so hard that it will be tough (but not impossible) to drill through to mount the brackets. Cable Bullet does supply the drill bits necessary, but just double check they will work through ipe. We used timbertech pvc for the face boards. Keep us updated!!
Love it!
@@EdwardAsbury thanks Ed!! Hope you are doing well. Been too long!
Ya know, at the 6:20 minute mark, I loved Noelle even more.
Awwww! I'm glad we captured this very upsetting moment so we could show how we make TONS of mistakes

@HouseofHuie how wide is your IPE wood for the hand railing?
@@Cheeseboy737 hi! We used 5/4 x 4 boards. True dimensions is 1 inch x 3.5 inches. Are you looking to do a new handrail?
🎉
Thanks TOM!!!
