How To Build a Deck | Wood Stairs & Railings (4 of 5)

you forgot the part where i smash my thumb with a hammer and throw my steel toe boot at the garden shed.

I love the cheery music, the no-sweat-slight-grins of the workers, the easy-peasy no-more-than-10-minute steps each phase involved is broken up with...but any realistic situation involving a layman will consist of a week's worth of time (minimum) and plenty of unexpected costs from the homeowner screwing up pieces of wood or breaking their cheap tools, and this is all assuming you glide by any king-shit towny inspector not giving you grief over codes. Adding to this, if you're lucky enough to find a contractor that is at least diligent enough to come by your home to give you an honest quote on the day and time they tell you they'll swing by to give you said quote, you can easily expect it to run well into the thousands. Rightfully so given everything you see in this video, from supplies to experience, not to mention lack of line markings in the ground prior to the dig of the concrete pad (which may or may not have required rebar).

Perfecto, muchas gracias y manos a la obra.

Great Video. I might try it myself soon!

Great detailed video!

Thanks

Muy bueno

I can not find the strings strap at lowes

min 1:35 what the measure of the back (2 by toe kicks?)

Dear Lowe's: What is the item number of the brackets shown at 4:17 thru 4:21 on the counter for the above video? I'm trying to buy them at my local Lowe's store or online. Thanks!

Awesome shed building plans, next time use it

nice

How did the toe kicks magically end up behind the risers when they were installed after?

Wow

What was the hanger used to attach the stringers to the deck?

3:44 are those three screws being driven into thin air? The board was not in line with the screws.

WOW

wow

I need to get the book on how to build a deck, or hire someone to do it for me. That seems to be a little complicated for me.
