I highly appreciate that rasping for a finished egde. Respect.

[@BigJohnson1566]

Looks good from my house, nice work.

[@deanmccabe8783]

A dry erase board to show details on the subject your covering? Might be good for us new to this.

[@riflebear1711]

For a picture framed border with slightly twisted framing underneath that makes the board rock, what do I do to overcome that?

[@CarlosMUrbaez]

what's the impact T torque adapter you are using ? please

[@kjbennett7858]

Good morning Doc... Could you possibly send me the links for the spacers, G-tape, and your favorite fastening system?

[@DiyRescue74]

Me too

[@toolbeltconstructionllc]

Dr Decks what is your favorite deck builder forum?

[@cmcer1995]

I see that drdecks doesn't comment back to answer questions which is sad as many questions are spot on and need to be clarified. Attaching the border is fine, but the main decking doesn't have any consistent framework to attach to and support those ends. I guess you have to install another joist.

Two comments:
* Borders not Boarders ;) -- unless you have boarders living on the borders 😀
* What you did NOT show is how you supported the ends of the main decking that butts against the surface border. Are those 3 inch blocks, or does the main deck cantilever past the last joist? And by how much? (I see Azek recommends no more than 1/2" cantilever. My existing decking? They say don't do it, period.)

Thanks. I wondered what the hey he could be talking about.

[@tommygun5038]

I'm not offended. There's always that urge to overthink things.

[@donnasaul2069]

Help , I used Deck Screws... the inspector said I used drywall screws...They were not !! So now can add 1 of the simpson LUS28. ...

[@Brockthedog315]

Do you ever show us what the framing looks like before you start Laing these boarders? So far I’ve never seen you do it.

[@kirstenrussell1012]

Look through the Instagram or earlier videos, there are plenty

[@levelseven9841]

I prefer butt joints over miters, but some customers don't approve.
Miters are a pain. No matter how tight you make them, once they shrink in the winter, they never grow back to where you set them.
Don't know why

[@CMCraftsman]

You need to pocket screw them from below and use 2P10 glue. I’ve never had a miter open up.

[@xyzct]

Wait ... I'm confused. Did he flip the board over? AZEK Vintage is only textured on one side. I don't get it.

[@wazzeradk9398]

I think he flipped it end for end.

[@CMCraftsman]

Wolf serenity is finished both sides. That’s what he’s using.

[@loganpatterson4674]

Surface borders?

[@KeithWhittingham]

I assume that a surface border is a change of board color or form to create different areas on the deck, or just surround the whole deck

[@farmermike9262]

Bro, are you kidding me. This was not a tutorial on surface boarders. Seems like the handful of vids of yours I watched were after thoughts and you do way more explaining than your actually showing. No like or subscribe for you
