      You should be using simpson fasteners not deck screws

    I'd put Rebar across the patio blocks to add support over the drain pipe, and use a Wet Set post base, and Proper Strong Tie Screws.

    The pavers you used for the post to rest on are just about the weakest type of concrete. They are far from structural.
    For what it's worth, that post was not "supported by a beam" or "supported by another post." The post supports the beam, not the other way around.
    The screws were much too thin.
    If you want to check a ten-foot post for plumb, you shouldn't use a two-foot level.

    • @5Iron

      First thing I thought of was that those pavers likely do not have sufficient shear strength. Concrete is great in compression but lousy in shear.

  • @samuelligo7234

    I always appreciate your videos. Honest question here...why did you choose to put the 4x4 actually in the concrete versus placing the concrete and then using a post base on the concrete with a standoff to keep the 4x4 up out of the damp. Not criticizing just wondering why you made that choice. Guys swear by one way or the other.

    • @FixThisHouse
      @FixThisHouse  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! It’s a good question! Honestly you can do either way, the standoff be a personal choice, I would use that if I was installing a floating deck. Either way will work in my opinion 👍🏽😊🙏🏽

    If you pause at 2:51, that post was 99% structurally sound/solid in the middle. It may have started to crumble on the exposed edges, but that thing was in no specific need to be replaced and would have lasted another 15-20 years. And putting another post into concrete will do the same thing as when it was in the ground. Ideally it would have been suspended with a bracket over the concrete.

    thats crazy putting a load on that pipe, what were they thinking?!

  • @shawntracey
    @shawntracey 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

    did the concrete crack at the corners right away... when you cut away the cardboard u can see the cracks?

  • @kevintotanes8760
    @kevintotanes8760 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you’re going to excavate that much, why not reroute the pipe so your post doesn’t have to rest right on top?
    I like the use of sonotube but I would’ve preferred you place some reinforcement and wet set a post bracket with a 1” standoff to avoid ground contact - isn’t that why you’re replacing the post in the first place?

  • @markfisher1716
    @markfisher1716 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good video but as another commenter eluded too, isn"t putting the post in the concrete a no-no anymore??

    • @FixThisHouse
      @FixThisHouse  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There’s nothing wrong with this method 👍🏽😊

  • @MrJikman
    @MrJikman 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Would you recommend the one-handed sawzall if I already have a full-sized sawzall?

    • @FixThisHouse
      @FixThisHouse  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The one handed is very versatile especially on tight areas. But your full sawzall should be good! 👍🏽😊

  • @Pallidus_Rider
    @Pallidus_Rider 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Curious why the bottom of post is not painted, to protect post from water?
    Seems to be an industry standard.

    • @yarpos
      @yarpos 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      mmmm especially if you put the cut end in the ground. Pressure treatment of wood isnt deep, as soon as you cut it the raw end is exposed to the elements unless treated/painted.

  • @ronrynearson8737
    @ronrynearson8737 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The way you did that wasn't 100 percent correct and like people say it should have rebar anchored in there but it's nice to see your little helper some day he might be a builder or architect.

    Really bad idea you have no enforcement or any connection between the pavers and the concrete waiting for wind to push it right off … it’s always amazing when I see how Americans build and are surprised when a storm takes their cardboard houses apart

    • @lionelborges8094
      @lionelborges8094 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s reinforcement and you’re right on that count. But the wind isn’t going to blow that non cardboard house down unless a hurricane comes through or a tornado stirs up. I don’t know where you’re from, but I bet our building code are stricter than yours. Just saying.
