Thanks for the video and explaining everything so simple. I found you on TH-cam about two years ago, I was looking at how to finish Sheetrock and you were the best at explaining the process, and I have watched a lot of videos ever since!!!
First of all I think you do a great job of drumming things down for the regular diyer I resently watched your prehung door video and while installing sons bed room door I ran across a helpful tip. Beware of ceiling fans.
I was wondering who I got that from! I have been doing that for a couple years now after watching him. He's honestly the one person I can consistently trust on here to a) have a guide about pretty much anything and b) know what common mistakes exist and how to prevent them. Keep it up, Jeff!
I did something similar with old fridges faced with pallet fence and filled with rotted wood and soil to plant it. It grows loads of food and I hardly have to water because it holds so much water. But yours is nice to.
So much common sense, site working tips and good direction in a single video. First and only video Ive seen from your channel; instant subscribe. Thank you!
I’ve only started watching your videos for the past view months and I’ve learned so much. I realized I don’t always have to screw screws in perpendicular to the wood and can go at an angle to catch the wood. Who knew. Thank you so much, you are a great teacher.
Jeff, I like your videos and I share them with my two sons and by son in-law the tips and understanding of job. I am now 70 and in my early day looking up all facts on just building a deck would take me week in time or pick one kits that at lumber yard. I look at a book and say how much time or money will it save me. It’s amazing how much you get into videos I enjoy reading comments
You’d be surprised how many people when at the lumber store don’t think about buying material that is the best price for the job. Buying 10’ boards instead of 8’ and 4’ boards or all 8’ and having to do a lot of cutting saves time and money. Sometimes it may work the other way around, it might be cheaper to do a lot of cutting and buy a bunch of odd sized boards. You just have to weigh out labor/ware and tear on tools to material costs. I’ve saved a lot of money and job bids over the years buy taking my time at the lumber store and deciding the best option. Like your show, been away for a while, doing a large garden this year. Fun watch.
planter boxes are so sleek and nice, would be nice to add some white rope lighting or something along the bottoms of the overhang where you were sitting.
My boyfriend said the same thing, and this is leaving me feeling like I watched a different video than you guys. Yes, things were explained, but I still don't have any idea how to start lol. The most I got out of this was lining it with typar (which I have on hand) and to put a board across the middle to prevent swelling...
This looks really clean. You could also use rod iron covers to mask you ends. Look great and gives strenth to the box. Not a dig at the craftsmen just an option for the project. Much love.
Sometimes I just watch your videos because you’re a cool dude and I like your vibe. I don’t even own a house yet but I love gathering ideas and being inspired to know that I can do this as well. Cheers
The before and after shots are like night and day! The yard looks awesome! I know your guests will appreciate the work you put into it. Also, is it me or is the number 8 at the end there upside down? 🙃
I have been watching allot of your videos lately and you have explained things very well. I am only 31 years old, but I’m more of a jack of all trades with a slight advantage in plumbing. I am always wanting to understand and learn new things to gain more knowledge. I plan to open a Handyman business up in the next year, once the economy catches back up. I have made all the repairs to my house since I was 21 years old when I first bought it. I work at the VA Medical Center in Facility Management, so I have to know all trades along with working with contractors and engineers with blue prints and renovations.Over the past year I have been able to take on anything residential thanks to your videos and knowledge. Keep the videos coming and thank you for taking the time to explain in detail. I am more of a hands on kinda guy, but the way you explain is awesome!
Good idea I always thought about using evergreen for this purpose but this would almost be almost overnight. Or spend big money on full side evergreen but this seems like the way to go.
Hi ,all the best from Scotland and once again great video. Small question please , what type of plants did you decide for the garden bed. All the best Ian Potts
I am curious how well these will hold up for a raised garden bed vs a planter box...I love the design and having an impossible task in finding cedar to make my raised garden beds 2x8 and 2x6 boards to make a 3x6 planters....wonder how long these will last. Thank you for the inspiration!!! Haven't been able to find a good alternative to the cedar for rot/big resistance.
Instead of hiding screws by gluing and clamping, you could use super glue the trim pieces at 3 points and spray instant activator on your planter box. Wood glue in the spaces in between. Once you press the trim pieces in place, the super glue activates from the activater and instantly becomes your clamp for the wood glue. No screws needed!
Yes it is upside down and this is done on purpose, this is symbolic as it will be the last thing he fixes on his house before he sells it, he did it on purpose
3:38 A good quality level should be able to shovel gravel. If you're new to construction, ask to borrow your foreman's level and do the same with it. They'll immediately recognize your skillset and put you on the fast track for a promotion! XD
Great looking planters and interesting way to build them! I only have 1 small concern with using cedar tongue and groove planks: my neighbor used that for his privacy fence and the boards warped after drying out through the summer leaving some gaps here and there.. Also cedar tongue and groove boards don't seem to be readily available in Montreal :(
Me, who needs to build a planter just like that: Noice, that's the video for me Jeff: Projects should be designed to be finished Me: hold on there chief, this is already too hard
so for the last side you built. with the other three sides screwed in place. wouldn't it have been easier to make it square if you tipped the box on its side and set the first piece of the last side on the two posts. then after the one screw on each post, put it back on the ground, make sure its level? instead of trying to do that on the ground? or is there some problem or technical issue I'm not seeing that requires you do it on the ground? (which is entirely possible, its 3:30am for me and my kid has cried for a good half hour for seemingly no reason, and i am tired lol)
Love this idea. Not sure what cedar tongue and groove goes for this week but this could work great for me in the future. Once I finally get some equipment in here to remove the knotweed.. Still can't believe the person who lived here before thought knotweed was a smart idea..
What was the total cost for the planter boxes themselves? Looking up 10ft cedar tongue and groove boards now and just those alone are about $600-$800, atleast here in the states. Trying to get an idea of lumber prices elsewhere.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY - Thanks! Do they survive winter cold in their boxes? I live in Minnesota - my wife and I are going to do what you've done in this vid. We're having difficulty finding bushes that will survive winter in planters.
The only thing I'd perhaps do differently is attaching the center brace to the sides of the 2x4s about a foot down, rather than across the top. That way it is hidden.
Hey Jeff, I'm from the Ottawa area, and I can see that you did that in the summer of 21, but I'm wondering where you got those tong and grove cedar planks? I can't seem to find it anywhere in here. Do you think having a cedar deck and using a garden bed like that in brown pressure treated would be too weird?
Thanks for the video and explaining everything so simple. I found you on TH-cam about two years ago, I was looking at how to finish Sheetrock and you were the best at explaining the process, and I have watched a lot of videos ever since!!!
Glad I could help!
"Projects should be designed to be finished". Holy moly I need that written on the wall in my garage.
My kids can’t even make their bed in a day
First of all I think you do a great job of drumming things down for the regular diyer I resently watched your prehung door video and while installing sons bed room door I ran across a helpful tip. Beware of ceiling fans.
@Meep Meep They do a lot of chores and help out but making beds is pulling teeth. Their logic is why make it if its going to be used again that night
I love that quote but I have never experienced it lol
Lol me too!!
18:47 - I like how you nailed #8 upside down :)
Jeff is an awesome real world teacher of his craft! Been loving your content for years! Thanks!
I appreciate that!
Do you sell plants not all us can think 10 steps ahead, great video
We have a huge announcement coming soon. Cheers!
Let me guess....you're coming to finish renovating my house!?
Hope it's about price coming down on wood
Did you trademark “money in the bank” to force me to stop saying it? 😂
The buyer’s club isn’t working for members. Can you please update folks on that?
You sold the farm house
For real it’s like learning from my own dad. Thank you so much for your videos!
Ha, ha, ha! The sound of Jeff success! Thanks again!
You bet!
Love your "pre-drill" method for preventing splits. Great tip!
Cheers!

ALWAYS THE BEST VIDEOS JEFF! I RECOMMEND YOUR VIDEOS TO ALL MY BUDDIES!
What a great look! You must be so happy sitting outside on your patio!
Thank you, I have learned so much from you.
"Cauterize the wound" brilliant!
Glad it was helpful!
X2 never even heard that before. Will be doing that from now on.
I think this is the video I was looking for , to inspire myself to build My raised garden bed. Helpful
You are great teacher Jeff. I love your videos, and I have planned to do some work in my back yard. Thank you.
Cheers Karan!

Nice tip on not splitting the boards. Wish i new that before xD

I appreciate that!
This is a fantastic video presentation.
Step by step guide, with tips. Just what I was looking for.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Love your "drill-that-screw-in-reverse" technique, gotta try it the next time i'm building something. Also, great video!
You make it look so easy. Thank you for the detailed instructions.
Your outdoor remodel looks very nice. I think everybody can do this, but the challenge is to plan it thru so it is pretty at the end...
exactly know the end from the begining and stick to a plan!
Looks beautiful Jeff!
What a transformation.
Thank you Farrah!
Nice tip of reverse drilling for the pilot holes
I love working with cedar…….good job
Thanks 👍
This looks really clean. You could also use rod iron covers to mask you ends. Look great and gives strenth to the box. Not a dig at the craftsmen just an option for the project. Much love.
Once again thank you for the time you put into these videos!
My pleasure!
I’m enjoying learning so much, thanks!
Amazing! Great video as always!
18:50 I strongly believe that the 8 is upside down.... Also, nice planter boxes and outdoor area.
Yeah. It sure is upside down. 🙃
Sometimes I just watch your videos because you’re a cool dude and I like your vibe. I don’t even own a house yet but I love gathering ideas and being inspired to know that I can do this as well. Cheers
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Jeff. Great job. Thay look fantastic. We'll explained to. We'll, that's certainly a project for me 1 weekend. Cheers! 😂👍👌
The before and after shots are like night and day! The yard looks awesome! I know your guests will appreciate the work you put into it.

Thank you for this video and for being an awesome teacher. God bless!
You are fantastic... what a nice job !!!

Hello Jeff and cheers!

Nice tip on reversing first!

"Perfect every time" always gets me, lol
Cheers Mariusz

Great video! Thank you so much
A great educator.

Cheers John, it was a lot of work!
Hi ,all the best from Scotland and once again great video.
Small question please , what type of plants did you decide for the garden bed.
All the best
Ian Potts
Wow, I love this 💕💕
Great job as in every video 😊
That’s brilliant!! Great work. That’s money in the bank
Yes indeed!
Awesome Idea! Awesome video!
Cheers Paul!

Perfect solution for privacy by a large window too!!! Jeff, is the 8 on your house upside down?
Yes it is upside down and this is done on purpose, this is symbolic as it will be the last thing he fixes on his house before he sells it, he did it on purpose
Gilbert Pankhurst Thank you! It was driving my OCD into hyper status.
What is the paint color of the house? Thanks and love watching these vids.
Good idea, i also want to build fence at my house
Wished I could afford wood....looks like a fun project!
Great video, I like it!
Is there another video on preparing the spot for the planter box. Did you dig? How deep? Just gravel???
Just what I needed ty!!
3:38 A good quality level should be able to shovel gravel. If you're new to construction, ask to borrow your foreman's level and do the same with it. They'll immediately recognize your skillset and put you on the fast track for a promotion! XD
Thorman for Prime Minister. Nuff said.
Great video as always. Q: why not build the tongue n groove from top down instead of bottom to top?
I love this
HOA: You can't have a fence over 4ft
Me after watching this video: No problem
🪴🪴🤭🪴🪴
All across Canada this long weekend, 8 foot planters will be built
Love This Planter Project. Cedar is not available in Bundles where I Live. Why did you use Cedar??
Great looking planters and interesting way to build them! I only have 1 small concern with using cedar tongue and groove planks: my neighbor used that for his privacy fence and the boards warped after drying out through the summer leaving some gaps here and there..

Love the planters... and the plants! What variety of plants did you use?
this looks like yew
"I don't think so, Tim." haha just joking. Great video, good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great project, thanks! Iff lumber is affordable again, i want to build these. Your 8 is hanging upsidedown, but i guess thats on purpuse?
Yes it is on purpose, it's symbolic, it will be the last thing he fixes before he sells the house
@@TheGibby13 That's a nice idea. Thnx, didn't know that.

rolling it over will damage the surface of the wood on stone. Cheers!
Love this idea. Not sure what cedar tongue and groove goes for this week but this could work great for me in the future. Once I finally get some equipment in here to remove the knotweed.. Still can't believe the person who lived here before thought knotweed was a smart idea..
Great idea!
Not too shabby
Thanks Wendy!
Why is your eight upside down on your fence (address)? Also, I just found you a couple weeks ago and your videos have helped me so much! Thank you
Hi, is it cheaper to use cement blocks?
The lumber strikes me as a little thin. . Are you having any problems with the Planters bulging out on the long sides?
no we filled them with potting soil so it is extremely lightweight. Cheers!
Nice
Very nice
Cheers Michael!
What was the total cost for the planter boxes themselves? Looking up 10ft cedar tongue and groove boards now and just those alone are about $600-$800, atleast here in the states. Trying to get an idea of lumber prices elsewhere.
Now please do a short on how to properly seal the pl premium for future use.
just use painters tape. Cheers!
Very nice! Why is the seating rotated sideways though?
Nice work, very attractive yard! What did you plant in your planters? They look like an evergreen of some type - how do they do through the winter?
exactly, it is an evergreen bush.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY - Thanks! Do they survive winter cold in their boxes? I live in Minnesota - my wife and I are going to do what you've done in this vid. We're having difficulty finding bushes that will survive winter in planters.

On several garden show only fill the top 1/3 filled with Loom and filler is used bottom 2/3

Nice planter, 1 question. Why was the 8 flipped?
Yeah that definitely needs flipping so that the larger 0 is at the bottom.
There is a reason for everything! Keep watching and you will see!
It's turned upside down to be symbolic, it will be the last thing he fixes before he sells the house
