Note - when you cut PT lumber, you need to treat the cut ends as they are now exposed. You can pick up the same chem used in the original treatment from a local hardware store and simply brush it on to treat and seal the cut ends to prevent future rot.
Yeah, I think if he actually want to spend the money and that type of stuff you’d get obviously new deck boards and do it correctly but it’s more about cost saving
If anyone wants to put wood on the ground like that I wouldn’t even do the job. Do a concrete slab if it’s within a few feet of the ground. Especially this one is just on dirt, if you have to use wood on the ground, at least put gravel or rock under it a few inches to keep water from sitting under it as bad. No hate though, just advice for anyone who doesn’t want to keep dumping money into something like that.
@@sammybranch7745 true . Yeah this is a 20 yr old deck and did this as a short term fix. 2 yrs ago and still holding well. Plan to rip all out in couple yrs and do pavers.
@@outofthetoolboxtinker yeah it looks good for the age and the repair looks good too, I just wanted to say other alternatives for a deck or patio that may last longer with less maintenance. Glad to hear it’s holding up😎
that particular piece was maybe a little less than 1/8 inch low. visually it was hard to tell, but i wanted it more flush. figured no better weatherproof spacer than a piece of old shingle. thanks for asking.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I’m replacing the bottom of my pond deck and a few joist are rotted. Do I always need to put a 2x4 on both sides? I took off my entire bottom already. Just joist are showing
As long as there is sufficient good wood for the decking to screw into. I did this repair to 2-3 years ago as a temporary fix, planning to rip it out and put down pavers. Haven't done that yet and it's still holding strong.
I know code-wise, this can vary by state. We have a piece we want to replace too on a joist. Will these sister joists, generally or typically pass inspection...or would the whole joist need to be replaced? The reason I ask is we just want to replace some decking and repair or replace the bad joist to sell the house in the next year or so and I know a house sell inspection may note one and not the other?
I don't know. I did this as a temporary measure 8 months ago with the intention of rebuilding this winter. I might wait another year. It's holding strong. Or I might just replace with pavers.
Dude great video love the rocky pump-up music! Question how did the shingle work out? We have same issue that created a seam where water dropped in and rotted it. Thanks again nice moonwalk!
Thank you rich. Shingle still holding strong. I got the idea from boardwalks at the beach where I live. It looks like they put down strips of peel and stick roofing underlayment, slightly wider than the top of the joist. Looks brilliant. I think it would really protect it. Thanks for watching

Excellent video. Thank you. I have some spots to fix on my deck and this will help big time !
Impressive and resourceful 👍🏻👍🏻. Very well done. Thank you.
Appreciate it
Awesome sound byte and showing how to reinforce the joist
Thanks
Well done. Enjoyed exciting sound track 👍
Thank you. I am actually wearing a rocky shirt right now.

I especially liked the hero music lol.
Notorious B.I.G motivation music.

Make sure not to install a vapor barrier. The termites, mold, decay and rot might die.

My favorite parts of the video! 0:05 and 5:28 🤣
Job well done, i hit the sub button. Cheers
I appreciate it.
Thanks Very helpful!
Does this pass code? It seems like are using a rotten sister to shore that up.
I have no idea. Did this as a temporary fix a couple years ago. Still holding strong. Eventually going to do pavers.
Would you say that this will only work if the joist isn’t completely broken/rotted? Any suggestions for if the joist is extremely damaged?
I'd say work best if you have some good wood to screw into. I did it as a "temporary" fix.... 2 years ago and still strong.
@@outofthetoolboxtinker thank you so much. Extremely helpful!
Need to use structural screws for sister joist

Thanks for sharing - why do you need to space the deck board from the joist with the roofing material?
Because the material is shitty.
Thanks
That song speaks to all men.
It makes men.
That deck is a scraper
The deck boards look terrible. Should replace them all. I would be embarrassed to have deck boards look like that. 😅
Pressure washing every 6 months they look great, but they need to go. Rats get under and nest. Need to replace with pavers.
Wont the rot just move to the new board
Did that repair as a temporary fix two or three years ago... Was planning to rip it all out and put down pavers. But, still holding strong.
2 ft on center.
Nice.
Bounce bounce bounce.
Rube Goldberg would be proud
ahhh yeah the moonwalk!!!
The MJ dance ruined it!
Your solution is to call you insurance company and buy a ton of liability insurance.
OR.
Bring in a ready-mix truck and pour baby pour.
Tbh i wouldn't have wasted my time the whole deck needs replacement. But i suppose some found this educational and will use this as a tutorial.
@@chrisardern4594 . Did the repair almost 3 years ago to buy some time. And is still holding strong. thanks for watching
ADRIAN!!!!🥴
Adrian!!!!!
attaching rotten boards to new boards is a stupid idea.
