It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.
The th-cam.com/users/postUgkxS-P9OAq3v4HNpPFqYFWNEq9A-E_PbZIN are indeed helpful, and the product is entirely promising if you are looking forward to building a single shed in your home It is entirely different from the other havoc packages that we usually see online and therefore it is such a package beyond expectations!
Pro tip from a carpenter that worked outside near the biggest temperate rainforest in America (Washington state),and now works on the wet side of Hawaii….to extend the life of your tape measures,every day wipe down your the blade of your tape with a rag blasted with wd-40….repels rust,helps keep grit out of the housing.
15:00 Pro tip for measuring between two posts. On one side measure and mark 10 inches from a post. Then flip the tape and measure from the other post to the mark. Add 10 in to that measurement.
Samurai carpenter put me on the idea of using a half-lap joint for handrail. Cut your pieces to extend past each other 1-2 inches then half lap over the corner post. Glue the joint and screw it to the post. Works best on outside corners.
If you guys want an honest review of tape measures, check put project farm. His reviews are honest, no sponsors, and definitely hit the major points. I watch his stuff before I buy tools. (Jeez that sounded like an advertisement haha)
another pro tip for doing those post top rails.. if you measure at the bottom of the posts rather then trying to hold the post plumb it will plumb the post by itself(90% of the time) also helps with what ever spindle or insert your using
You might watch 'Construction Worker'. They throw in the sand and cement, mix it up with shovels and turn on a hose. Just before it dries, they lay the tile. So then the cement dries underneath of it.
As a long-time rocker, I always HATED mashing puffed out insulation back into the wall (or ceiling). Slowed us down, was more strenuous, and we'd have popped nails and screws.
first step flush with the deck makes it easier to see / gauge how to descend for people who may have difficulty with it; it can also add a bit of space if it's tight at the top.
For the concrete mixer, you slice it down the middle and then grab it buy the corners. Then flip and fold in half. Have someone ready with the sprayer to wet it down and stop the dust.
I'm building a deck. 1st time really doing something like this, so I'm pretty amateur. So far I've just done the footings and attached the ledger. I just want to go on record saying that measuring was easy, pouring concrete was easy, cutting things square was easy...but making things plumb and level was HARD. I've probably spent 10x the amount of time just trying to make things plumb and level; like it's really crazy how difficult it has been to make things plumb and level. I am probably doing something wrong, but like if you let Jamie talk for like 1 hour straight about making things plumb and level, I'd literally watch every second of it. Attaching the ledger to the rim joist of my 120 year old house was difficult to make plumb, it was difficult to make the sonotubes plumb and level, it was difficult to make the post-to-footing brackets level. Like for anyone watching these videos and thinking about building a deck, just be prepared that making it level and plumb is going to be your greatest challenge...in life
Laser makes it much less of a hassle. If you want to invest in one that is, they’re pricey but guaranteed you’d use it for many projects in the future. Dewalt and Milwaukee both make fantastic units. Again they’re an investment but a solid one. I’m sure your deck is going to be fantastic and congrats on taking on the project yourself 🤩👍
Miter joints open at the heel with redwood and fir, too. so what you do is you compensate ahead of time by opening the toe a bit to being with. When the heel shrinks you pound the two back together. If you use screws that part is easy. And the re-adjustment is so slight you can't notice it anywhere else.
I followed the stair explanation, but I've built countless sets so over thought of that all before 😅 its definitely a learning curve the first few times you do it
On pressure treated 90 deg corners I use a 90 deg butt joint rather than 45 deg. They still open up but you end up with a straight openning rather than pie shaped openning and I think it looks better.
There was so much information packed in this video. I enjoyed Let Jamie Talk, when he described the steps. I got it now. Eric you also provided great information. I did not know the difference in the inside vs out side step layout.
On our jobsites (years ago) we had a policy that everyone had to use the same brand of tape measure because, over a sixteen foot distance the difference in the "reading" could be sizable. We also worked around salt water and, when I found a good deal I would buy them in quantity.
A subtle but valuable tip! Especially in a woodworking shop, measurements have to be universal and change as little as possible as a project moves through departments.
I used to agree with this rule but the other day I realized my two different Milwaukee tapes disagree with each other! Granted I’m in the UK so one was imperial with metric and one was metric only. As an American this blew my mind. Only 1mm off (3/64 roughly). Sad day as it was the one I like that was wrong. I’m going to a same tape system on all trim and woodworking.
Eric - Not sure if you've ever seen it but here in Maine we pretty much exclusively mount our stringers on hinges. The stairs ALWAYS seem to move, cause the deck is set to 4 feet below grade. It allows the stairs to float with the frost movement instead of getting ripped of the deck every year
Been waiting on this build. Crazy how much the pandemic affected product availability. You guys continue to impress. Looking forward to the next and the next et al. Thanks for the entertaining content! I can't imagine how time consuming it is on top of the work you're doing. I appreciate it.
Probably overkill for construction type stuff, but for inside measurements you can take two shorter sticks, butt each end and clamp the middle. You can simply scribe and not worry about some odd number.
Happened to just have watched a bunch of tape reviews when I was shopping for a new one. DeWalt ended up winning overall, Craftsman actually got second, then FatMax. Lufkin did not perform well even though they look cool, I really wanted a reason to buy it but ended up not. They are also apparently off by an 1/16 to 1/8 right out of the gate so you may want to double check some measurements Ray!
I’m from Costa Rica and although we do have small concrete mixers most of the time for small jobs we do mix concrete on the floor, some times we lay a tarp underneath just to prevent the concrete from mixing with dirt, grass, etc. It’s a heck of a workout and if you don’t know what you are doing there could be chunks of unmixed cement when you pour the concrete but I think everyone should try it sometime
Hi Esteban, look into the "steele mixer," it's a hand-powered concrete mixer and can mix a 60 pound (27 kilo) bag in about a minute. Much less expensive and more useful than an electric mixer
Redoing my backyard, I may try this since my wheel Barrow tried to give out on me, wooden handles are pretty but not used to manual labor, so its gonna end up a yard ornament.
Can you please make a podcast or second channel for Jamie's rants. I can see his brain works like mine and I could listen to him waffle on about anything for hours
11:42 I can't speak for all Aussie wall and floor tilers but 99% of the time we still do a floor mix, you end up shifting the sand like five times before having it the the room you are working. You get really fit really quick I remember being an apprentice and the boss got a shop/commercial job and we were mixing like 5 tonne a day (11023 lb) for a week. Protip: Speaking of tapes sometimes if you are going to be yelling measurements to a helper or you have one tape at a bench and one inside (if you don't wear a belt) and you have two different brands and even sometimes the same brand pull them out and check that they are the same I had one tape that was off by 3mm I kept scratching my head why the shower niche angle was short. I'd hate to do a big set out and be checking for square and that slight difference could cost big $ for a simple mistake.
I pick up totally unopened bag of concrete and lift up, set a little under halfway into opening of mixer. Use trowel as a knife to cut the top of bag off (not totally off, make a flap). Pull bag out, mix slides in. Super easy, clean, and bag remains in one piece for clean up. Premark a bucket with exact amount of water you like. 2 bags, 2 buckets of water etc... Makes a consistent consistency.
Typically, you can avoid a “hanger board” by using galvanized straps to hang the stringers to the rim joist BEFORE the finished skirting goes on (and account for the stringer cut accordingly). That foldable ruler is a essentially a “pinch stick”. Take 2 thin strips of wood that have a combined length that is longer than the width-place within the opening, mark the overlap, remove the strips, align the mark, and measure. You’ll get an exact measurement if you don’t own a folding ruler.
Make sure that every tape on the crew has the same accuracy in measurement, they are not always the same as I found out the hard way. Everyone on crews my crews used Stanley as they seemed to be the most consistently accurate of all that we tried.
I hope you ordered windows for your next 5 projects so they're in when you need them. I had to order my windows 5 months before we started building our house just to make sure we had them in time.
I don't know about the thermals, but I do know that packing insulation too tight will ruin alot of the sound insulation, as sound thrives in "packed areas". If it is too tight it would practically negate the wall.
I had one of those Lufkin tapes and it worked really well until I used it in the rain one time. For whatever reason the water just destroyed that thing and it got really stiff and never retracted again. Never had that problem with a Fatmax
The other work around for a stair being added to a deck is having a closed-two-side stair where the treads are notched into the stringer (or sitting on blocking or a cut stringer) rather than the stringer being cut and losing the top. Having the stringer stay uncut gives it the strength to be fastened to the deck skirt board without any additional blocking needed. It does change your railing options a little bit but not a lot.
Bought a Lufkin last week and used it for 2 days and it wouldn’t retract at all. No abuse. Supposed shock force couldn’t hold up to measuring a few boards. So went back to the fat max quick. Keep us updated on your experience with the lufkin! Thanks
We have tried them at work too and they are junk, I can usually get 6 months out of a milwaukee or Fatmax while the Lumpkin can't even make it a month without kinking and being unusable.
I like the Lufkin tapes in appearance and ergonomics, but haven't purchased one due to how fast they retract. I just know I'd be too slow to always move my index finger out of the way and it would get slammed between the hook and case. My Fat Max is slow enough that my finger never gets caught haha.
Great great videos. I haven’t seen anyone build a home this detail since “Holmes” would def hire you guys lol! Would love to see you guys do a basement refinish from start to finish, some thing cool like all your other builds.
I tried the Lufkin and found the paint wore off pretty quick but i liked the numbers on both side. So dewalt has one with numbers both sides. Lufkin $40. Dewalt $ 32 dewalt also come with a magnet that clips into the end for steel measuring
One thing about the Lufkin is they snap back so hard that I’ve broken the tip off of 2 of them completely ruining them in just a few months. I know not to let it snap back but it happens…
FYI, a siren is sound only. Just like a flashing light is only a flashing light. It's been that way on all the thousands of emergency police, Sheriff, DOJ, SS, Fire vehicles I've built. No the factory doesn't make them.
The reason that you would want the railing to come up is that there should be a 1-0 railing extension (flat abve deck) at the top of the rail and one tread depth on an angle to the lower side of the stair. This part of the railing at the bottom is then returned to the gound or an adjacent guardrail. These railing extensions are a requirement to meet many accessibility standards required in projects larger than a single family residence. If this is intended as a rental property than it may also be nice to consider other accessibility guidelines because this could become a liability for the owner.
The new Lufkins are not better, a few guys at work tried then out and only got a month or so out of them before they kinked really bad. I will stick with the Fatmax or the Milwaukee
I used a little Bosch laser measuring device for inside measurements when putting a tongue and groove porch ceiling in. It was very handy and always accurate especially when you would have the dumb end of the tape a long way from you.
I personally hate changing out my tape measure, father has had the same one for 15+ yrs...but when the numbers begin to wear, when it's difficult to read my 8ths and 16ths, I have to change mine. I stepped away from Stanley while working drywall construction, because they struggled to contend with the gypsum dust of the site. Craftsman and Lufkin can take a better beating for sure, so the durability offsets the price.

Was waiting for them to show that too, but they never did.
Or, hear me out, hook on post, measure to post take off width of post, or use a laser measure
Time to locate a new window provider

Yep mixing concrete by hand on the ground is the way to go when one is without a mixer. Working on my house we poured a little slab to do it.
watching these daddies videos is like reading a book.
i cant watch the latest video until i've watched all the other episodes.
Crazy Guy's 😃 , good Job . Greetings from an Austrian Carpenter 👋

My favorite tape measure of all time was an Irwin. Labeled front and back and the tip was impregnated with graphite so you could mark with it.
“If you’re measuring something on a plane.”
😂😂😂😂😂
first step flush with the deck makes it easier to see / gauge how to descend for people who may have difficulty with it; it can also add a bit of space if it's tight at the top.

Hey guys,
Ray says what if you use biscuits and polyurethane glue.
Thanks for the suggestion Ray
For your inside to inside measurements simply mark back two inches from one side and then measure up to your mark from the other side.
I followed the stair explanation, but I've built countless sets so over thought of that all before 😅 its definitely a learning curve the first few times you do it
On pressure treated 90 deg corners I use a 90 deg butt joint rather than 45 deg. They still open up but you end up with a straight openning rather than pie shaped openning and I think it looks better.
Tape segment was cool. It’s a constant struggle to find a good one. When you do they “improve “ it and it’s not the same.
I recently bought a two pack of the Cresent 25’ night eye, nice tape. After Christmas to two pack was about half price.
There was so much information packed in this video. I enjoyed Let Jamie Talk, when he described the steps. I got it now. Eric you also provided great information. I did not know the difference in the inside vs out side step layout.
Does Ray have his own channel and show us some tips and tricks from every job, even 3min is perfect for us viewers.

Interesting!
@digging, can you link a video example of this? I’m curious what that looks like
@@mattshinay it’s a hanger that you would use on a rafter or a floor joist.
That's weird, and different. If i ever see snow ill make sure to remember that. That's the cold stuff right?

Love the Crescent Lufkin stuff and I think it is designed in NC at Apex tools
Probably overkill for construction type stuff, but for inside measurements you can take two shorter sticks, butt each end and clamp the middle. You can simply scribe and not worry about some odd number.
That’s a great tip!
Excellent description of the stairs… and very entertaining…

Maybe some classic style woodwork railing would make a nice change instead of the steel wire.

I did my top step flush on my deck. It works well if your stairs hug the side of your deck.
I had one of those Lufkin tapes and it worked really well until I used it in the rain one time. For whatever reason the water just destroyed that thing and it got really stiff and never retracted again. Never had that problem with a Fatmax
You should try doing drywall on another project, it would be interesting to see.
The other work around for a stair being added to a deck is having a closed-two-side stair where the treads are notched into the stringer (or sitting on blocking or a cut stringer) rather than the stringer being cut and losing the top. Having the stringer stay uncut gives it the strength to be fastened to the deck skirt board without any additional blocking needed. It does change your railing options a little bit but not a lot.
(For measuring long spans) you could also just but to a easy number and turn it over and add that way.
Bought a Lufkin last week and used it for 2 days and it wouldn’t retract at all. No abuse. Supposed shock force couldn’t hold up to measuring a few boards. So went back to the fat max quick. Keep us updated on your experience with the lufkin! Thanks

Even a pvc can expand and contract the same way. Ive done that joint with both and they always end up the same
I like the Lufkin tapes in appearance and ergonomics, but haven't purchased one due to how fast they retract. I just know I'd be too slow to always move my index finger out of the way and it would get slammed between the hook and case. My Fat Max is slow enough that my finger never gets caught haha.
Been waiting on windows for 2 months now, as well. Something needs to be done about that long of a wait time.

Great great videos. I haven’t seen anyone build a home this detail since “Holmes” would def hire you guys lol! Would love to see you guys do a basement refinish from start to finish, some thing cool like all your other builds.
Bet you could build every crew member a shed with all the stored up stock MrJamie P has still!
That’s how I learned to mix concrete in Brazil
"I'd call Matt Risinger." I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good video boys stay safe
A beautiful home and a great job in which state this home is.
Yayyyy you’re back
Just visited Asheville and had Marble slab ice cream. We have Coldstone creamery that does the same technique.
I tried the Lufkin and found the paint wore off pretty quick but i liked the numbers on both side. So dewalt has one with numbers both sides. Lufkin $40. Dewalt $ 32 dewalt also come with a magnet that clips into the end for steel measuring

FATMAX STANLEY ITS THE BEST PERIOD
Try mixing in a tarp with 2 guys. Get a 90 pound sack mixed in 2 minutes
The new Lufkins are not better, a few guys at work tried then out and only got a month or so out of them before they kinked really bad. I will stick with the Fatmax or the Milwaukee
Looking great and that trash trailer, lol highly suggest investing in a dump trailer works great for almost anything.
Everyone's putting railing up meanwhile Jaime's playing with his stick trying to measure one rail.
I used a little Bosch laser measuring device for inside measurements when putting a tongue and groove porch ceiling in. It was very handy and always accurate especially when you would have the dumb end of the tape a long way from you.
I personally hate changing out my tape measure, father has had the same one for 15+ yrs...but when the numbers begin to wear, when it's difficult to read my 8ths and 16ths, I have to change mine.

Good job as always!! I do hope to see more side projects as well!

I always have a little laser measure tool in my pouch, it makes live much easier, specially for inside measurements like in min. 15
That's how we mostly do it.mixing cement mix in the ground.
I like my milwaukee tape measure.
Milwauke do some really good tapes, don't use anything other than
