Hi Jeff I’m only 17 and I wanted to paint my room so I watched all ur painting videos and my mom was so happy with how It turned out she asked me to paint the whole house and i did, IT LOOKS AMAZING. just wanna say thank youuu I was able to help my mom out and now she doesn’t have to pay someone to paint the house ❤️❤️
I am so impressed that you not only wanted to help your Mum but you took the time to learn how to do it properly. You will go very far in life. Many of your peers (my children included) dont have a great work ethic. Congratulations to you and your mother for raising such a great kid.
You sir, are AMAZING!!! And yo' momma rocks! Great job, you know what you need to do to get where your want in life, you know how to work hard to do things right and you know how to make a girl happy. That is what it takes to be a happy man. I'm not a man, but I know how to make one happy, or miserable... The man may wear the pants in the household, but we all know who he wants to get in them.... hey, just being honest. You are definitely old enough to hear that. Anyway, I'm really proud of ya, way to go 👍 Side note (my ex-boyfriend wasn't bright enough to do what you have done)
This guy is absolutely brilliant! I walked out of the room hours ago and left TH-cam playing random videos. I've walked back into the room and I've been sat here, captivated, educated PLUS there was a Ric Flair reference. Actually subscribing.
Boy, would I like to have a sit down with this guy and just listen and absorb... Great teaching technique, easily explained and with a lot of sense... I am glad that you have your channel and that all of us can learn...
BEST DIY GUY EVER! But seriously this guy’s tips are priceless! I just finished a deck using at least 4 new tips I didn’t know before and this job looked so much better and the home owner, who has 7 rental units (so they’ve worked with a lot of contractors), was elated with the strength and finish of her new deck! This make me very happy and gets me a lot of referrals! Believe me, no matter how much you think you know, this guy will teach you something!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY One of my favorite mantras and easier than ever with all of the exceptional content you've given us all. I really could not overstate how much time and money your knowledge has saved me! Still, what amazes me is how much I retain from watching you. I'm sure my end result is nothing close to yours, but you truly have a natural gift for teaching that I can see in everything I learn. Thank you again.
I don't know how many times I watched this video lol Everytime it awes me. Thank you Mr. Ottawa contractor, you are the best! Mind you, I watched maaaaany of your other videos but somehow, I keep coming back to this one. Cheers.
This was actually really easy to watch. You have a calming voice and speak in a way that's encouraging to anyone to give something like this a try. Thanks for sharing.
So many tips in 1 video I am going to need to watch it at least 3 times. Next time I will take notes and the 3rd time I will make sure I didn't miss anything the first 2 times. I will probably watch it a few more times during the project.
I'm still about 12 - 18 months out from this stage for the Japan renovation, but just watched this video, and already have ideas about what I want to do with it! Cheers! - Scott from Japan
Great video sir. US ARMY Military Police Corp veteran getting into architectural designs and development. Such an informative video which helps me in all of my future designs. God Bless You Sincerely. Keep up the excellent work my friend. Randy Lee
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY Yes sir. And know that I will taking notes from your videos both pre and post messaging. God Bless You and Your Family. Thank you once again. Love that your teaching the youngster the trade. I'm sure he will go along way your instructions. Sincerely, Randy Lee
First of all this guy has a lot of amazing tips but the fact that he does not want to use safety glasses is really disturbing. You can know your tools all you want Hell you could have MADE THE TOOL but it only takes a second to lose your EYES. The thing I'm worried people will follow his example and not use good safety practices.
I appreciate the videos. Built my deck a few months ago. I used camo screws from watching your videos and love it. I live in Southern California and am cheap so I used 2x6x12 Doug fir for the decking with pressure treated 2x8’s for the framing. It’s all solid as a rock. I primed and painted the decking with exterior products so hopefully it will last along time. Thanks again.
Lol The leveling of the post "get it close, doesn't have to be perfect, take some pressure off your self" Thank you for that I have been kicking my self for 4 days because my posts are real close but weren't dead on level. I feel alot better about it now thank you so much love the video great info
I'm been building things for years and I still found this interesting. Great tips. If wood didn't cost more than crack I'd build something this weekend.
Jeff you are the man! Taking all of the nonsense out of getting things done. And you do it all with a pleasant disposition while seemingly not to even break a sweat. I'm giving you two thumbs up.
The great thing about your videos is you make it interesting you're entertaining and you're funny so you know keep up the great work I've been watching you for over a year now and you've encouraged me to make a lot of things and I've done a pretty good job where I didn't have the confidence so I really really appreciate it guy thank you very much and keep them coming

Dude that bit around 26:45 is solid af. The splinter from the center grain of the lumber never thought about that. Ofc I dont know jack about wood or anything related to that but you explained it so well.
I'm a general contractor and I can build decks but I don't specialize in them and watching your video gave me a lot of ideas and cleaned a lot of things up for me. Sometimes I think I have too many tools and I have a lot of money tied up in tools but now I need to go get me the Cammo tools too. Great tips and ideas. Thanks!
I'm 65, retired, (well 9-5 anyway) At first my male pride was in the way of giving you props. I'm seeing this video about a year from the first time I viewed. I don't know how many times in that year I used your "reverse drill and smoke" method to keep a board from splitting. Among others. You have saved me a few trips to the truck because of that. You are a great teacher. And thank you for taking time to do that. Sooo, Here goes. HEY JEFF! PROPS!
I am in Leamington Ontario Canada and just recently found your channel. Thank Goodness I did. This is amazing. I am learning how to build so many things from your channel and you make it so easy and make sure to explain every detail. I like your short humour too, gives me a chuckle. I Have a passion for building and now I have all the tools right here. I am definitely looking to support your channel and anything I can purchase through here I will. Thank you so much! Don't need a man now, I can just do it all on my own!! Wooohoooo! After greenhouse and gazebo, ill be doing my roof in spring and fix my falling down house, YAY!!
I love your common-sense approach to building. I am currently renovating my grandmothers house so my wife and I can live in it morgage free, and your videos have been excellent. From framing, to siding, to sheetrock...electrical...plumbing. Love ya man!
Hi Jeff! I love your DIY videos. I have a camp and believe me, I will be watching and listening to all your building tips! I have to build a water shed and decking this year, so keep. those videos coming! Have you built any structures like pergolas or solariums yet? That will be my next venture! Thanks again!
i recently started a job at Lowes selling lumber and drywall and roofing and stuff like that. these videos have actually been invaluable to me to figure out what all of the options are and what the difference is. i never worked in construction, so i don't have the first hand experience of working with these materials. the thoroughness of these videos has taught me things that i have actually been able to use when talking to customers. the segment about wood grains was amazing. the section about trex decking is also great because we sell that, but i was a little confused about how it was installed. now i know that and a lot more!
Always a good time to watch a video about big decks! The wife loves a big deck...she's particularly fond of our neighbor's deck and spends a lot of time on it. That is somewhat concerning; so I'm gonna use your tips and start workin on getting her a deck she'll tell her friends about!
Great job showing the clips and how you need to use them to suit your build type. The reason there is two different kinds of clips, is you use one type each (solid and slip) for each horizontal member, when doing two horizontal rails. If you've ever installed a closet rod it's a similar thing, solid circle for one end of the rod and a circle where the top is cut out. For those horizontal 2x4 rails in that kit you would use one solid clip with one slip clip for each horizontal 2x4 rail. The directions I read had you attach the rail clips before installing the railing. Which if you install them that way you will need the slip side to rack your spindles followed by the top rail. I like to install the whole thing as a monolithic unit. ;) Great tips and tricks.
I’ve been watching you for a long time and still enjoy your channel because of the common sense way to tackle work on your property or a clients house. Great work brother and your son is a great part of this channel and enjoying you both working together, cheers sir.
As a project recommendation, would you consider showing how to install metal interlocking weather stripping on exterior doors? This is the kind of hook and groove type metal interlocking weatherstripping usually made of strips of aluminum into routed out edges of the door that creates a lifelong seal around the door. This seems to be a lost art but saw it done once and it's the best seal I've ever seen. Can't seem to find an installation video anywhere on the web. Thanks and love your channel. Keep it up.
When drilling holes for rail, a little tip for holes: place a small drop of clear weather cocking in hole then place spindle in hole. The cocking helps hold from falling out should the hole be too deep,( if you didn't use painters tape), and it helps seal hole from water. Just helps sometimes. Great video as always brother!
They say in the trade measure twice, cut once. Well I watch a lot of good people on here like your self and find I always come back to you for my build and tips. You have an amazing way of explaining every thing and other simple methods too which makes any job much easier if I follow your advice first. You also share your previous experiences too and revert back to what has worked better in the long run. Thanks a million for you help from these amazing videos, assisting me in my passion of woodwork and small home builds. I'm just a novice in all what I do but there have turn out really really well, well the wife loves them, and she I the only person I need to please. Take care in all what you do buddy, you and your loved ones and thank you for inspiring me to follow some think I've always had a passion for. Now I Watch Twice & Build Once.
Looks like you had a good time in chat! Glad to see it!! Sorry I missed such a long Premier. Thank you for the video, Jeff. It's so full of quality information!
So much knowledge here. My brain is soaking it all up and learning why things should be done a certain way. I am in the middle of a porch deck and these videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you!
Hey Jeff!! Your videos are awesome!! You explain everything so well and though! I must admit, your videos are VERY entertaining!! I just had Total Knee Replacement surgery on Monday the 21st so I have all the time in the world to BINGE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!! That was funny, when you installed the door and found out THERE WASN’T ANY DOOR HANDLES!!! Funny to watch your rage meter!! Sooo funny!! I will be joining your club deal as soon as I get back on my feet! I do a lot of DIY around the house! Thanks Jeff (and Michelle and your two sons) for caring enough to put out QUALITY videos!! Thanks! Manny
Pal, your a fking beast, honestly. Being an electrician for 7 year in construction, everytime I watch your vid I feel like an apprentice again. Aside from being a freaking great pedagogue, you are funny and charming. Keep up the good work my friend, you contribute in an awesome way to this world, I love your transparency.
You truly are a very gifted individual. I have just recently discovered your video and am now addicted. Your talent is unmeasurable, and priceless. your sense of humor while explaining things is perfect. Iv watched hrs. and hrs. of videos of this nature and have NEVER EVER felt the need to donate any money until now. I will absolutely find a way to do just that. Thank you so much for your sharing the wealth of knowledge you do to those of us that care to watch. God has surely blessed you with incredible talent. My only regret is that I didn't see this video 24 hrs. sooner. We just built 3 decks for my niece over the weekend. I could have used these tips without a doubt. However.....I know them now....lol and will probably re watch this one many more times. it would be impossible to remember everything you shared today In just one viewing. Mark Hoffman.... Blessing In Disguise Handyman Service...
the amount of stuff iv learned on this channel is insane and i can't believe its free lmao good stuff man bought my house about a year ago' and iv been hooked to this channel since and iv done alot' 💪🏼
I love your videos very good information. My only problem is that I can't stop watching once I start I will view one after another all day or all night. I watched the video on enclosing a screen in porch today and also on building a deck. I laughed for ever over the storm door handle keep up the great work and never loose your personality it's great.
Very Good! And a good sense of humor! I seem to remember you from This Old House? (PBS) I just finished my daughters deck, and it's perfect! Took me over 2 weeks! LOL
I just found your channel. You are awesome! You show cool new tools and how to use them. I’m a handy girl and I’m loving how easy you make things. You found a new fan.
Good Video. I'm a subscriber and this guy has good tips. Gotta say though bad advice on safety glasses. Doesn't matter your experience eye protection is important for EVERYONE! I've seen the injuries in the shop to prove it.
'you cant get it perfect' i beg you different but good video boss! love learned about new tools to use, specially loved that pry clamp, i have been use my cats paw for same thing but i alwas hated that drives into the surface of the lumber.
First, I LOVE your videos! I've become a binge watcher. That being said- we were in a position where we have to "restore" our deck. After taking all the decking off, we unfortunately discovered the *entire* thing had to be scrapped as every bit of it was rotted. Super unsafe, so glad we got started on the project. That being said- I am going to have to shell out TONS of $$ for the structural lumbar (at todays insane prices). I was able to get a big load of *used* Trex from a neighbor for the decking & it is in decent shape. It was a HUGE score. That being said... It was originally installed with surface screws. I don't see any other way to install it BUT to use those holes & surface screws. In this case- what do you recommend (specifically) for hardware/screws? I plan to line the wood stringers with Trex Tape. Is there an adhesive I should shoot into the hole in the Trex before the screw? I plan to apply Rustoleum Composit Deck Refresh as the final step. I would love ANY suggestion you may have with regards to making my not stellar options the best they can be!
When you pulled out the two by four to frame out the lattice work I was thinking I don't know to each his own but I think it would look better to use 3/4 in material but when you showed us the technique with the 2x4 I said to myself myself I think he's got something there
Your videos are great and so helpful. Thank you for these. Just wish I found you before I built my 12 x 16 deck. Which started as 24 on center because of a plan that a woman in the Midwest that used 2 x 4s as deck boards. Ended up becoming 12 on center by the time I found my error. You were helpful to build part of my railing which came out perfect.
Hi Jeff, you are a great presentor. Your explanations of the whole process are great. It's like watching a tv show. I think it's too. Long for a single video, I think that if you cut it to "episodes" it will be easier for the viewers and people will be able to watch certain episodes that are more oriented to what they need. You'll also get more views per video and to your channel. Your channel is great and the editing is fun and gets you to keep watching. I'm from israel, worked for three months in deck installations and still learned a couple of stuff. If you're interested I'd like to create Hebrew subtitles for the video. Keep on the great work you do and good luck with the business
Just a quick tip for prying out difficult nails or screws if you don’t have that fancy little pry bar just use your hammer sideways. And thanks for the vid love your content.
Hi Jeff I’m only 17 and I wanted to paint my room so I watched all ur painting videos and my mom was so happy with how It turned out she asked me to paint the whole house and i did, IT LOOKS AMAZING. just wanna say thank youuu I was able to help my mom out and now she doesn’t have to pay someone to paint the house ❤️❤️
Congrats !!! That is awesome! This is why we do what we do. Cheers!
Love it! I’m using his videos to make walls in the basement for my room! I’ve put up all of the framing next step drywall!

I feel like I know how to build all kinds of decks now, only problem is that I don't own a house! lol your house looks awesome Jeff
😂 maybe your landlord would like a deck? Earn some free rent💪🏼
@@Maru_reacts_mochi A decent deck and tools will cost a whole lot of rent..
Looks like you had a good time in chat! Glad to see it!! Sorry I missed such a long Premier. Thank you for the video, Jeff. It's so full of quality information!
So much knowledge here. My brain is soaking it all up and learning why things should be done a certain way. I am in the middle of a porch deck and these videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you!
I love the pry bar
Great job at explaining . We are rebuilding our house . Great tips.
Man what you do have help me too much to fix my home, i am doing everthing now as you do it.
Keep it up you are the best 👍👍👍
Wow !!!!! And I watched the whole thing. Learned a lot.
Hey Jeff!! Your videos are awesome!! You explain everything so well and though! I must admit, your videos are VERY entertaining!! I just had Total Knee Replacement surgery on Monday the 21st so I have all the time in the world to BINGE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS!! That was funny, when you installed the door and found out THERE WASN’T ANY DOOR HANDLES!!! Funny to watch your rage meter!! Sooo funny!! I will be joining your club deal as soon as I get back on my feet! I do a lot of DIY around the house! Thanks Jeff (and Michelle and your two sons) for caring enough to put out QUALITY videos!! Thanks! Manny
thats a great Idea with the PL adhesive and joining boards I'm doing a deck outback this summer Ill remember that one thanks Jeff
Awesome I'm gonna build my deck nowThank you canadian guy!
Best decking video
Pal, your a fking beast, honestly. Being an electrician for 7 year in construction, everytime I watch your vid I feel like an apprentice again. Aside from being a freaking great pedagogue, you are funny and charming. Keep up the good work my friend, you contribute in an awesome way to this world, I love your transparency.
Great day to start with some tips from you..
You truly are a very gifted individual. I have just recently discovered your video and am now addicted. Your talent is unmeasurable, and priceless. your sense of humor while explaining things is perfect. Iv watched hrs. and hrs. of videos of this nature and have NEVER EVER felt the need to donate any money until now. I will absolutely find a way to do just that. Thank you so much for your sharing the wealth of knowledge you do to those of us that care to watch. God has surely blessed you with incredible talent. My only regret is that I didn't see this video 24 hrs. sooner. We just built 3 decks for my niece over the weekend. I could have used these tips without a doubt. However.....I know them now....lol and will probably re watch this one many more times. it would be impossible to remember everything you shared today In just one viewing. Mark Hoffman....

Great lesson on wood grain!
the amount of stuff iv learned on this channel is insane and i can't believe its free lmao good stuff man bought my house about a year ago' and iv been hooked to this channel since and iv done alot' 💪🏼
I always learn something on your shows ...thank you
I've learned so much from your channel. THANK YOU, god bless
great stuff, missed the part about the waterproofing, and the borax acid for termites.
I love your videos very good information. My only problem is that I can't stop watching once I start I will view one after another all day or all night. I watched the video on enclosing a screen in porch today and also on building a deck. I laughed for ever over the storm door handle keep up the great work and never loose your personality it's great.
Very Good! And a good sense of humor! I seem to remember you from This Old House? (PBS) I just finished my daughters deck, and it's perfect! Took me over 2 weeks! LOL
I just found your channel. You are awesome! You show cool new tools and how to use them. I’m a handy girl and I’m loving how easy you make things. You found a new fan.
Good Video. I'm a subscriber and this guy has good tips. Gotta say though bad advice on safety glasses. Doesn't matter your experience eye protection is important for EVERYONE! I've seen the injuries in the shop to prove it.
'you cant get it perfect' i beg you different but good video boss! love learned about new tools to use, specially loved that pry clamp, i have been use my cats paw for same thing but i alwas hated that drives into the surface of the lumber.
First, I LOVE your videos! I've become a binge watcher. That being said- we were in a position where we have to "restore" our deck. After taking all the decking off, we unfortunately discovered the *entire* thing had to be scrapped as every bit of it was rotted. Super unsafe, so glad we got started on the project. That being said- I am going to have to shell out TONS of $$ for the structural lumbar (at todays insane prices). I was able to get a big load of *used* Trex from a neighbor for the decking & it is in decent shape. It was a HUGE score. That being said... It was originally installed with surface screws. I don't see any other way to install it BUT to use those holes & surface screws. In this case- what do you recommend (specifically) for hardware/screws? I plan to line the wood stringers with Trex Tape. Is there an adhesive I should shoot into the hole in the Trex before the screw? I plan to apply Rustoleum Composit Deck Refresh as the final step. I would love ANY suggestion you may have with regards to making my not stellar options the best they can be!
I learned so much in two hours. So valuable. thank you
Excellent video! Whoever shot and edited this, did a great job! I learned a lot from it.
When you pulled out the two by four to frame out the lattice work I was thinking I don't know to each his own but I think it would look better to use 3/4 in material but when you showed us the technique with the 2x4 I said to myself myself I think he's got something there
Your videos are great and so helpful. Thank you for these. Just wish I found you before I built my 12 x 16 deck. Which started as 24 on center because of a plan that a woman in the Midwest that used 2 x 4s as deck boards. Ended up becoming 12 on center by the time I found my error. You were helpful to build part of my railing which came out perfect.
Also worth noting that with composite, it's recommended to use 12" joists
Hi Jeff, you are a great presentor. Your explanations of the whole process are great. It's like watching a tv show. I think it's too. Long for a single video, I think that if you cut it to "episodes" it will be easier for the viewers and people will be able to watch certain episodes that are more oriented to what they need. You'll also get more views per video and to your channel. Your channel is great and the editing is fun and gets you to keep watching. I'm from israel, worked for three months in deck installations and still learned a couple of stuff. If you're interested I'd like to create Hebrew subtitles for the video. Keep on the great work you do and good luck with the business
I really just enjoy learning from you. Thanks for the great content.
I love your work and content Jeff. And I really appreciate that you post long videos. Keep up the good work. Grettings from David in Sweden
I would love to hire this guy for my deck
Just a quick tip for prying out difficult nails or screws if you don’t have that fancy little pry bar just use your hammer sideways. And thanks for the vid love your content.
